Ayala Corporation has finalized the deal to be the official Philippine distributor of BYD, the world leader in hybrid and pure electric vehicles. Ayala has been prioritizing the electric mobility vehicles as the enabler of Ayala's ecosystem. The group is uniquely positioned to provide long-term value to EV customers, given its assets in renewable power generation, automotive distribution and dealerships, property development and management, manufacturing, financing and insurance, and digital connectivity--all of which are critical components of the EV ecosystem.
Meanwhile, BYD has an expansive line-up of both passenger and commercial vehicles at competitive price points, allowing the vehicles to be deployed at a larger scale. Its operations as
an automotive manufacturer are also fully integrated, with capabilities not only in designing and assembling the final vehicles, but even in battery technology, electric powertrain development,
and semiconductors. In addition to the automotive space, BYD also has investments in rail transit, renewable energy, and battery storage. Across BYD dealerships in the Philippines, Ayala will offer the luxury executive sedan, BYD Han; the spacious 7-seater family SUV, BYD Tang; and the compact hatchback, BYD Dolphin. By the end of this year, Ayala will also introduce the BYD ATTO 3, a highly awarded EV model that is globally hailed for its outstanding design, comfort, quality, practicality, and performance.
