Ayala Corporation’s mobility solutions platform, ACMobility, is set to bolster its presence in the Philippines with the inauguration of the first BYD dealership in Mindanao. This strategic expansion marks a pivotal step in ACMobility’s mission to accelerate the adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) nationwide, establishing BYD as the country’s leading EV brand.
Managed by Image Davao Mobility Corp., the dealership is conveniently located at KM. 5 J.P. Laurel Avenue, Bajada, Davao City. This prime location ensures easy access for residents and surrounding areas to view and test-drive BYD’s extensive electric vehicle lineup.
The new dealership, occupying a 1,788 sqm lot, features BYD’s signature visual identity, aligning with the brand’s global showroom standards. Its inviting facade creates a comfortable environment for visitors as they engage with the dealership’s professional sales and after-sales associates.
Inside, the facility boasts a modern six-car showroom showcasing BYD’s latest models, including the BYD Tang seven-seater electric SUV, the BYD Han electric sports sedan, the BYD Atto 3 electric subcompact crossover, and the BYD Dolphin urban hatchback. Each model represents cutting-edge advancements in electric vehicle technology and design.
BYD Davao is one of several new dealer appointments planned for this year, expanding BYD Cars Philippines’ rapidly growing dealership network to at least 22 facilities nationwide by the end of 2024.
In response to the growing electric vehicle market in the Davao region, BYD Davao is equipped with six state-of-the-art service bays, outfitted with essential tools for the maintenance and servicing of electric vehicles, ensuring top-tier support and care for customers’ EVs.
The dealership also features two dedicated AC charging stations for customers who wish to charge their vehicles on-site. Additionally, an ACMobility charging station, housing one 60 kW DC fast-charging station and two additional AC charging stations, will soon be built near BYD Davao, further enhancing the convenience and accessibility of electric mobility solutions in Davao City and the region.
“On behalf of ACMobility, we congratulate BYD Davao and the team of Wally Alvarez for the successful inauguration of the first BYD showroom in Mindanao,” said Jaime Alfonso Zobel de Ayala, CEO of ACMobility. “Davaoeños embracing sustainable transport is a cornerstone of progress in the region. BYD’s inauguration in Davao marks a pivotal step in ACMobility’s broader vision for a sustainable future across the Philippines.”
“BYD Davao is the first of three key dealerships we are opening in Mindanao,” shared Toti Zara, Head of Automotive Retail and Distribution for ACMobility. “BYD’s presence in Davao is crucial for establishing a sales and service network that will care for our customers in southern Mindanao. Both ACMobility and BYD are committed to providing the best ownership experience for those who want to enjoy the cost savings and real-world benefits of electric mobility.”
James Ng, Managing Director of BYD Philippines and Singapore, applauds the official opening of BYD Davao. “BYD Davao represents more than just a place to showcase our cutting-edge electric vehicles; it symbolizes our unwavering commitment to shaping a greener, more sustainable future not only for our dear Davaoeños but also for the entire Philippines.”
“BYD’s steadfast commitment to Mindanao is clear. Together with ACMobility, we intend to establish two more dealerships on the island this year to cater to the growing demand for electric mobility in the region. On behalf of BYD Global, we congratulate Wally Alvarez and his team for being pioneers of electric mobility here in Mindanao,” added Ng.
