In April of this year, BYD Cars Philippines made the bold pronouncement that they will have more Toyota dealerships by the end of 2025. The Chinese New Energy Vehicle brand, distributed by ACMobility, has just sent in an update and things are looking pretty close.
According to their latest count, there are now 64 operational BYD dealerships in the Philippines. Even more interesting is that their 77-dealer target is now set to grow to 79 dealers by the end of 2025. The expansion, BYD reveals, is mostly in Luzon in Mindanao.
“Reaching this stage of our expansion reflects the growing trust of more Filipinos in BYD and in electric mobility,”said Bob Palanca, Managing Director of BYD Cars Philippines. “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.”
Marking a significant milestone for electrified mobility in South Luzon, BYD Lipa opens its doors as the brand’s first dealership in the province under long-time partner Solar Transport. This state-of-the-art facility offers a full EV lineup, featuring an 8-car showroom, a dedicated customer lounge, and a certified 6-bay service center. Equipped with robust infrastructure that includes five AC chargers and one fast DC charger. BYD Lipa is poised to accelerate the shift toward cleaner transport and drive Batangas’ environmental roadmap forward.
Strengthening the brand's foothold in the region, BYD Carmona also launches as a landmark site, becoming the first EV dealership in its city. It houses an 8-car showroom, 6 service bays, and strategically sits near major highways to better serve residents across Cavite’s rapidly developing communities.
In Central Luzon, BYD Baliwag rises as Bulacan’s first 3S (sales, service, spare parts) dealership, supporting the province’s fast-growing transport network and future-ready infrastructure. With an 8-car showroom, 10 work bays, with both AC and DC chargers, and a 2,600-square meter facility, the dealership supports Bulacan’s identity as the Lupang Bayani for northern Greater Metro Manila.
Beyond the Luzon mainland, BYD Palawan also establishes its first presence in Puerto Princesa, bringing sustainable mobility to one of the country’s most environmentally significant regions. The dealership offers a 4 to 6-car showroom, body-and-paint facility, and charging points—supporting residents, businesses, and the province’s thriving tourism industry in transitioning to cleaner transport alternatives.
Apart from Luzon, BYD also made strides in expanding its reach into Mindanao. It made a historic entry into Zamboanga del Norte with BYD Dipolog, the first EV dealership in the entire province and the flagship outlet of Eco Motion Auto Group. Located in the region’s “gateway city,” the new dealership positions Dipolog as an emerging hub for sustainable mobility in northwestern Mindanao. The facility features an 8-car showroom, 5 service bays, AC and DC charging points, and capacity to stock up to 50 units, with its body-and-paint center underway.
In Metro Manila, BYD also marked the groundbreaking of BYD Greenhills, the 6th Ayala-owned BYD dealership in the Philippines. Positioned in one of the capital’s highest-value commercial districts, the dealership is set to bring convenient access to BYD’s full EV lineup, test drives, and aftersales services to urban motorists.
“Each new dealership lays another foundation for long-term EV growth in the Philippines,” shared Adam Hu, Country Head, BYD Philippines. “We are steadily expanding toward a nationwide network that makes sustainable mobility accessible to all.”
Wow! The problem with too many dealerships is after sales income would spread too thin. Too many byd dealerships already closed in china. lets see here in ph after 3 years if byd dealerships wont suffer the same fate of those china car brands here that fast to expand dealerships and also fast to closed. Meanwhile in china, byd market share being eaten alive by geely. Car buyers in china probably realized by now that geely/lynk n co/zeekr quality are miles better than byd.
ReplyDeleteThis wont go for long term. most of the dealership survive with Aftersales income but considering less cost for PHEV & EV, only BYD will benefit and dealers will eventually close down due to profitability.
ReplyDeleteEventually customers will get affected with less dealerships
79? Too many dealerships but not too many units sold. i dont think its financially viable. Dealerships should have a big income from after sales to cover land/building rental, salaries, water, electricity, interest from loans f ever, overhead, taxes, etc etc...and the ongoing PRICE WAR that getting brutal month by month. For sure some byd dealerships will eventually closed .
