Another vehicle company looks to make an impact in the electric vehicle game with SERES finally launching in the Philippines on 2 June at Okada Manila in Parañaque City.

‘We are excited to announce our partnership with SERES, a leader in the intelligent new energy vehicle industry. Together with shaping a future where intelligent electric vehicles are not just a possibility, but a reality.’

SERES also partnered up with QSJ Motors Philippines, which is known for distributing heavy machinery in the country.
