AC Motors, in partnership with Solar Transport and Automotive Resources, inaugurated the BYD Quezon Avenue dealership on Friday, August 25, 2023. The facility is the first dealership to open under the stewardship of AC Motors, the automotive arm of the Ayala Group of Companies, which was recently appointed by BYD as its official distributor in the Philippines, under Mobility Access Philippines Ventures, Inc. (MAPVI).
The 4,000-square-meter BYD Quezon Avenue dealership features a large showroom that can showcase BYD’s pure EV line-up, which includes the BYD Dolphin (hatchback), BYD Han (sedan), and BYD Tang (SUV). The state-of-the-art facility also features an elevated customer lounge experience and a dedicated new-car release area and embodies a look and feel meant to communicate sustainable transport through a mix of green and contemporary design.
Solar Transport’s BYD Quezon Avenue and BYD Makati dealerships are the first of at least 12 BYD dealerships that will open in key locations nationwide over the next 12 months. This comprehensive BYD dealership roadmap is proof of AC Motors’ commitment to green technologies and confidence in the global powerhouse that is BYD.
“BYD’s presence in the country was already formidable,” says MAPVI president Toti Zara. “Thus, we look forward to scaling even bigger heights and bringing the brand closer to even more Filipinos. Building your dreams has never been more attainable, and exciting.”
“The BYD Quezon Avenue flagship dealership is a testament to the strong partnership of AC Motors and Solar Transport, and our commitment to our valued customers to provide service that they can rely on,” said Mark Andrew Tieng, president and CEO of Solar Transport & Automotive Resources Corp. “We can assure our clients that each BYD EV will have access to exceptional after-sales service and support, including an extensive battery warranty coverage of 8 years or 150,000 kilometers. The company’s trained mechanics are dedicated to providing reliable customer service, and with the aggressive global expansion efforts and government-backed incentives taking place, BYD owners in the Philippines can expect peace of mind, reliable specialists, and a seamless ownership experience.”
“The opening of BYD’s first flagship store in the Philippines not only illustrates the importance BYD attaches to the Philippine market but also is an important step for BYD to deepen its localization in the Philippines, as BYD joins hands with its partners to practice the goal of low-carbon and green life with practical actions. This is a brand new starting point,” said James Ng, general manager of BYD Philippines and BYD Singapore.
BYD Quezon Avenue is located at 718 Quezon Avenue, corner G. Araneta Street, in Quezon City. The showroom is open from 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., Monday through Saturday.
