BYD widens reach

BYD Cars Philippines ended 2025 with a bigger footprint across the country. The company now operates 64 dealerships and targets 79 locations by the end of 2026.

The latest openings are located in Luzon and Mindanao. BYD said the sites extend access to electric vehicles beyond Metro Manila.

BYD Cars Philippines operates under Mobility Access Philippines Ventures, Inc., which is part of ACMobility, the mobility arm of Ayala Corporation.

“Reaching this stage of our expansion reflects the growing trust of more Filipinos in BYD and in electric mobility,” Bob Palanca, managing director of BYD Cars Philippines, said.

“Every new dealership strengthens our ability to serve more communities and brings us closer to a future where electric mobility is a natural choice for Filipinos.”

South Luzon gained a key addition with the opening of BYD Lipa, the brand’s first dealership in Batangas. Operated with partner Solar Transport, the facility features an eight-car showroom, a customer lounge, and a six-bay service center. The site also includes five AC chargers and one fast DC charger to support local EV use.

Cavite followed with BYD Carmona, which the company described as the first EV dealership in the city. The site has an eight-car showroom, six service bays, and a location close to major highways, making it accessible to nearby communities.

Further north, BYD Baliwag opened in Bulacan as the province’s first full 3S dealership covering sales, service, and spare parts. The facility spans about 2,600 square meters and includes an eight-car showroom and 10 work bays, along with AC and DC charging options.

Outside Luzon, BYD expanded its presence in Palawan with the opening of BYD Palawan in Puerto Princesa. The dealership has a four- to six-car showroom, a body-and-paint facility, and charging points.

Mindanao marked a milestone with the launch of BYD Dipolog, the brand’s first dealership in Zamboanga del Norte and the first EV dealership in the province.

The facility serves as the flagship outlet of Eco Motion Auto Group and includes an eight-car showroom, five service bays, charging points, and space for up to 50 vehicle units. A body-and-paint center is still under development.

In Metro Manila, BYD also held the groundbreaking for BYD Greenhills. Once completed, the site will become the sixth Ayala-owned BYD dealership in the country and will offer vehicle displays, test drives, and after-sales services.

“Each new dealership lays another foundation for long-term EV growth in the Philippines,” Adam Hu, country head of BYD Philippines, said. “We are steadily expanding toward a nationwide network that makes sustainable mobility accessible to all.”
