BYD Cars Philippines and local distributor ACMobility recently released the brand’s 10,000th new energy vehicle (NEV) in the local market at an event held at Ayala Malls Glorietta in Makati. NEVs are what the carmaker likes to call models with an electric power source, like hybrids and plug-in hybrids.
BYD has marked a dramatic rise in sales since Ayala arm ACMobility took over. Since 2024, its lineup has grown from four models to the current 10—so far. It also plans to end 2025 with 77 dealerships, challenging the number of dealers of market leader Toyota Motor Philippines.
“Selling the 10,000th BYD new energy vehicle in the Philippines is a milestone that signifies Filipino consumers’ trust in the brand,” said Bob Palanca, managing director of BYD Cars Philippines. “Every BYD NEV delivered reflects a customer’s belief in our vision for transformative mobility. This achievement energizes ACMobility and BYD’s drive to lead the country’s electric transformation by offering Filipinos dependable, innovative, and sustainable vehicles supported by services from brands they can rely on.”

The milestone 10,000th unit was a BYD eMAX 7, turned over to tech executive Adrian Goh. This is actually Goh’s fourth BYD already, signifying his trust in the brand.
“It is truly an exceptional achievement for BYD and our partner, ACMobility, to be able to deliver 10,000 new energy vehicles in only a little over a year,” shared Aiffy Liu, country head of BYD Cars Philippines. “As the Global #1 new energy vehicle brand, Filipinos can expect more cutting-edge NEVs from BYD as we continue to provide the latest in electric vehicle technology, performance, durability, and safety. We thank our customers for their trust in our brand over the past year and for choosing BYD as their smarter, more sustainable mobility solution.”
The commitment of ACMobility to BYD’s growth is evident in the steady stream of marketing activities and events, as well as its aggressive dealer growth. There is also the synergy brought about by ACMobility’s own charging stations, a unique proposition that complements the growing NEVs in BYD’s lineup.
