Nationale Suisse rolls with Roger Federer

He not only lends his name to the locomotive, but also represents the corporate values of Nationale Suisse in an "individual, successful and likeable" way, the company writes in a press release. The locomotive symbolizes Nationale Suisse's commitment to the Gotthard Base Tunnel, the project of the century in Swiss transport history.

"We are delighted that we were able to inspire Roger Federer for our project and that we are supporting him and his charitable work in Africa through this collaboration," says Hans Künzle, CEO of Nationale Suisse. "With every kilometer driven, we make a contribution to the Roger Federer Foundation." For every kilometer driven through the Gotthard Base Tunnel, ten francs will go to the tennis star's foundation.
