BYD holds Mindanao Tech Tour

BYD Cars Philippines successfully concluded its first Tech Tour in Mindanao by introducing technologically advanced electric vehicles and infrastructure last June 27-29 in Cagayan de Oro City.

Kagay-anons had the opportunity to experience BYD’s latest innovations through interactive displays and test drives, all aimed at supporting the region’s shift toward more sustainable and future-ready mobility.

“We remain true to our commitment in bringing innovation through BYD and to build the charging infrastructure needed to make electric mobility more accessible and affordable to the Filipinos,” Bob Palanca, the managing director of BYD Cars Philippines, said.

Through the BYD Tech Tour, BYD underscored the brand’s commitment to making EV technology more accessible to consumers across the Philippines since ACMobility inaugurated the first BYD dealership in Davao City.

The BYD Tech Tour in Cagayan de Oro offered interactive exhibits, immersive technology showcases, and hands-on experiences with BYD’s growing range of electric vehicles — including the Seal 5 DM-i, Sealion 6 DM-i, eMax 7, Shark 6 DMO, and newly-launched subcompact SUV, Sealion 5 DM-i. 

“The BYD Tech Tour provides an important touchpoint for customers to learn more about the advantages and benefits of electric mobility, and also experience the impressive line-up of BYD, the Global No.1 New Energy Vehicle brand. By continuously doing this, we are closer towards our goal in making the future of mobility more accessible to more Filipinos,” sayi Adam Hu, the BYD Philippines country head.

Supporting this shift to electric mobility is ACMobility’s expanding EV charging network, with the Philippine EV Spine initiative serving as a key component of its nationwide rollout. ACMobility has now activated nine EV charging locations in Mindanao. By year-end, more EV charging points will be constructed on the island, including one in Pagadian City, Zamboanga del Sur.

ACMobility has laid out plans for continued expansion throughout the country to ensure dependable and convenient access for EV owners, from urban centers to regional hubs.

As of June 2025, ACMobility is active in more than 100 locations with over 230 charge points nationwide, making it well on track to achieve its goal of activating more than 700 charge points across the country by the end of the year. Through its partnership with Evro, ACMobility offers EV users a convenient way to locate charging stations, monitor charging, and make cashless payments all in one app.

“We are committed to building a reliable, inclusive EV charging network that supports the growing adoption of electric vehicles in Mindanao and throughout the Philippines. Through our Philippine EV Spine program, we’re laying the groundwork for a future where every Filipino can drive electric with convenience and confidence,” said Carla Buencamino, the head of mobility infrastructure at ACMobility.
