BYD Cars Philippines, a subsidiary of ACMobility, concluded 2025 with its strongest performance to date. The brand recorded 26,122 units in retail sales, making it the fastest-growing automotive brand in the country. The 446% year-on-year increase in volume solidifies BYD’s position as the leader in the new energy vehicle (NEV) market.
This momentum was fueled by high consumer demand across the brand’s diverse lineup. The BYD Seagull leads the brand’s 4,608 BEV (battery electric vehicle) sales as the top-selling vehicle, while the Sealion 6 DM-i led the brand’s DM-i range, reflecting a growing Filipino preference for sustainable mobility.
“2025 marked a significant milestone in the advancement and broader adoption of NEVs in the country,” said BYD Cars Philippines managing director Bob Palanca. “BYD’s strong growth underscores our sustained commitment to democratizing electrified mobility. It demonstrates that when innovation is paired with accessibility, the market responds positively. We remain firmly focused on making EVs attainable for Filipino households nationwide.”
Building on this success, BYD and ACMobility have officially renewed their distribution partnership for passenger cars in the Philippines, reaffirming a long-term commitment to the Philippine market. The alliance, which began in August 2023, assures a steady pipeline of innovative technologies backed by a comprehensive ecosystem of charging infrastructure and aftersales support. This strategic foundation paved the way for BYD’s rapid expansion across the country. By the end of 2025, the brand achieved its target of 79 operational dealerships nationwide, a massive increase from just 25 locations at the close of 2024.
Moving forward, both companies remain focused on scaling their network and enhancing the ownership experience for the thousands of Filipinos now choosing the BYD brand.
“These milestones are a clear signal of our unwavering, long-term commitment to the Philippine market,” says BYD Philippines country head Adam Hu. “Together with ACMobility, we are committed to fueling this momentum and making NEVs the standard, not the exception, for Filipino drivers,” he added.
