Singapore, 28 October 2025 – Volt Auto celebrated a milestone in electric mobility with the successful launch of the Dongfeng 007, its next-generation electric sedan, on 18 Oct 2025 at Funan Mall.

A Star-Studded Moment with Jessica Jung

Jessica Jung, global singer, actress, and fashion entrepreneur, served as the face of the UNLOCKED: 007 campaign. Fans and media alike gathered in anticipation for her appearance, where she graced the stage alongside the vehicle and surprised the crowd with her elegance and warmth.

Later in the afternoon, Jessica participated in an exclusive private media interview session held at the Volt Auto Showroom at 1 Tai Seng Ave, #01-23/24 Tai Seng Exchange, Singapore 536464. A select group of lifestyle and entertainment journalists had the rare opportunity to engage her in an intimate setting, with questions submitted in advance and curated to reflect her personal and professional journey.

Her insights touched on everything from her connection to design and innovation, to her impressions of the Dongfeng 007 and her return to Singapore.

“I’m honoured to be part of this exciting launch,” Jessica shared during the interview. “I was totally impressed by the design — it’s sleek, beautiful, and thoughtfully made. I really hope people in Singapore are inspired to try new things — don’t be afraid to open new doors.”

Giving Back: Celebrating with the Community

On the same day as the 007 launch, Volt Auto also supported local wellness platform Happie SG by sponsoring a Dongfeng Box as the Grand Prize for its 3rd Anniversary Showcase. The prize presentation took place at Jewel Changi Airport, where it was co-presented by Volt Auto and Singapore’s Queen of Caldecott Hill, Zoe Tay.

This meaningful partnership reflects Volt Auto’s commitment to building lifestyle-centric EV experiences that resonate with everyday communities — from fans and families to first-time EV buyers.
