BYD expands its presence in Metro Manila with the opening of two new dealerships in Fairview and Commonwealth. These additions, under Harmony Auto Philippines, follow the success of the BYD BGC dealership. The new facilities aim to meet the growing demand for electric vehicles in the city.

During the inauguration, Lovelyn Labrador, deputy general manager of BYD Philippines, highlighted their commitment to sustainability and progress. “It’s a proud moment for us as we officially open these two dealerships,” they stated. “At BYD, we believe sustainable mobility is not just a choice but a responsibility we share for future generations.”

Located in Quezon City, BYD Fairview and BYD Commonwealth offer a range of sales and after-sales services to customers. BYD Fairview prides itself as the first 4S dealership in the Philippines, providing sales, service, spare parts and surveys under one roof.
