BYD widens metro network with new dealership

By Joyce Reyes-Aguila

BYD Philippines official distributor ACMobility concludes 2024 with an additional dealership location in Metro Manila. The facility in Mandaluyong City is described by the company as “strategically located” specifically in the Greenfield district, and is the second location of the brand that is managed by Iconic Dealership, Inc., ACMobility’s dealer arm.

In a statement, company Chief Executive Officer Jaime Alfonso Zobel de Ayala said the move is a “steadfast representation of ACMobility’s commitment to establishing BYD as a brand Filipinos can trust, as well as approach with confidence. Beyond just sales, this dealership serves as a beacon of ACMobility’s dedication to reliable, first-class customer service, ensuring that BYD owners receive the best support for their electric vehicles.”

BYD Greenfield Mandaluyong’s 1,642-sq.m. space houses a six-car showroom, an 85-sq.m. customer lounge, and an open workshop. Dedicated negotiation areas and two-car releasing spaces will “ensure a seamless and comfortable experience for every customer,” a company statement added. All features of the new facility are aligned with BYD’s global dealership standards and is now part of the 25-strong BYD dealership network in operation here.

A total of 310 sq.m. is occupied by a service area that provides general repairs, preventive maintenance, diagnostics, and battery replacement. This also serves as a drop-off and pickup point for body and paint services provided by the Central Body Shop in Alabang. According to the company, BYD Greenfield Mandaluyong is outfitted with a full set of original BYD diagnostic equipment and specialized service tools — all operated by a dedicated team of BYD-certified technicians and service advisors.

“We are thrilled to open the doors of BYD Greenfield Mandaluyong, bringing a modern, customer-centric facility to a key business district in Metro Manila,” joined BYD Philippines Country Head Aiffy Liu. “Honed by BYD’s 30 years of experience as a technology leader, this dealership is designed to provide a seamless experience for all our customers, offering world-class sales and after-sales services for the growing number of BYD EV owners in the Philippines.”

BYD Cars Philippines Managing Director Bob Palanca described the location as “crucial” to the brand’s expansion strategy in the Philippines. “We aim to bring electrification closer to businesses and communities in this important district central to Metro Manila and nearby provinces, making it easier for customers to transition to sustainable transportation solutions,” he stated about the location’s thrust to serve professionals working in business hubs in its proximity. BYD Cars Philippines offerings include the BYD Seal 5 DM-i compact sedan, BYD seal mid-compact sedan, BYD Seagull mini hatchback, BYD Sealion 6 DM-i compact sport utility vehicle (SUV), BYD Atto 3 compact SUV, BYD Tang performance SUV, BYD Han sports sedan electric vehicle (EV), and the BYD Dolphin hatchback.

BYD Greenfield Mandaluyong underscores the new-energy vehicle brand’s commitment to expand its presence in the Philippine EV market and offer top-tier service to EV owners across the country. Aside from its Metro Manila dealerships in cities like Makati and Quezon City, BYD Philippines is also present in the provinces of Cebu (Mandaue City), Pampanga (San Fernando City), Negros Occidental (Talisay City), Davao (Davao City), and Iloilo (Iloilo City).
