BYD Chairman Wang Chuanfu Visits Philippines, Reaffirming Country’s Growing Role in Global Electrification Push

Wang Chuanfu, Chairman and President of BYD Co., Ltd., recently visited the Philippines, highlighting the country’s growing importance in BYD and DENZA’s global electrification strategy and reaffirming the strong partnership between BYD Philippines and ACMobility. The visit marked another milestone in the partnership that began in 2023, as the two organizations continue to support the Philippines’ transition toward electrified mobility through expanded vehicle offerings, charging infrastructure, retail operations, and after-sales support.

During his visit, Chairman Wang toured key facilities, including BYD dealerships, DENZA showrooms in Alabang and Cebu, and ACMobility Charging Hubs. He also engaged with frontline teams, dealer principals, business partners, and customers to gain firsthand insights into the rapid growth of the Philippine EV market. Wang emphasized the importance of understanding local customer needs and investing in technology and infrastructure to make electrified mobility more accessible. “The Philippines has become one of the most exciting and promising markets for New Energy Vehicles in the region,” said Wang Chuanfu, noting the strong momentum of electrification and ACMobility’s commitment to building a smarter, customer-focused mobility ecosystem.

The visit also underscored the expanding presence of BYD and DENZA nationwide, with BYD now operating 81 dealerships and DENZA four dealerships across the country. Jaime Alfonso Zobel de Ayala, CEO of ACMobility, said the company’s commitment to electrification is driven by the need to address the cost of mobility for Filipino households, leading to investments across distribution, retail, charging, and after-sales support. Bob Palanca, Managing Director of BYD Cars Philippines, described Chairman Wang’s visit as a strong vote of confidence in both ACMobility and the Philippine market, while emphasizing the company’s continued focus on expanding its lineup and delivering world-class electrified vehicles and ownership experiences.

As BYD and DENZA continue to strengthen their Philippine operations, both brands remain focused on expanding their networks, improving customer experience, and investing in the country’s EV ecosystem. Adam Hu, Country Head of BYD & DENZA Philippines, emphasized that collaboration with partners will be key to making smarter and more sustainable mobility accessible to more Filipinos. With the Philippine market playing an increasingly important role in the brands’ regional growth, BYD and DENZA are set to further expand their presence and help accelerate the country’s shift toward electrified transportation.
