Vivo Energy Kenya, through its Managing Director Mr. Peter Murungi, publicly acknowledged and lauded the Hyundai Shell Mobis World Rally Team's decision to incorporate a special Kenyan wildlife livery onto their vehicles for the upcoming WRC Safari Rally 2026. This acknowledgment is directly reported in an article from KBC Digital, which quotes Murungi's welcoming statement regarding this gesture. The article specifically highlights that this livery is a "rare tribute" to Kenya's "Origin of Wonder" tourism branding, indicating the significance of the gesture from the perspective of Vivo Energy Kenya.
The claim that Vivo Energy Kenya celebrated this livery is further substantiated by the independent reporting from a second source, whose headline explicitly states, "Vivo Energy Welcomes Hyundai’s Kenya Wildlife-Themed Rally Livery as Safari Rally Gets Underway." While this article focuses on Hyundai driver Thierry Neuville setting the fastest pace in the Shakedown stage, its very headline corroborates the celebratory or welcoming stance of Vivo Energy. The use of "Welcomes" in the headline aligns perfectly with "celebrated" in the claim, indicating a positive reception of Hyundai's artistic decision.
