Solar Transport Still Part of BYD PH as Key Dealer, To Open New Dealership in QC

MANILA: Solar Transport stated that it will continue to play an important role as one of the key dealership operators of BYD electric vehicles.

Driven by its mission of providing innovative customer experiences using electric technology, Solar Transport is committed to providing the top-notch service to its esteemed customers who have invested their trust with them from the start. Solar Transport is also steadfast in its commitment to greening the roads and promoting sustainable mobility options while continuing to support BYD's efforts to strengthen the electric vehicle industry in the Philippines.

In accordance with its vision, Solar Transport will soon open its 4,000-square-meter flagship dealership along Quezon Avenue in Quezon City. This two-story facility will feature a full-service center and a grand showroom that will showcase all fully-electric BYD models offered in the Philippines.

Solar Transport and Automotive Resources, Inc. President and Chief Executive Officer Mark Andrew Tieng underscored the company's commitment to zero-emission sustainability through BYD electric vehicles, saying, “It has been a mission of Solar Transport since a decade ago to ensure that we invest in the environment so that we could all have a sustainable future.”

Since 2013, Solar Transport has been a leading innovator in electric vehicle distribution in the Philippines. Solar Transport has brought in the powerhouse lineup of BYD in the country, which includes the Dolphin, Han, and Tang. As a dealer, Solar Transport will work together with AC Motors, the new BYD distributor in the Philippines. Furthermore, Solar Transport will continue to be the authorized distributor for BYD material handling equipment in the Philippines.

With the collaboration of the two companies, it is expected that there will be a significant increase in the number of electric vehicles on Philippine roads, both inside and outside Metro Manila. This partnership is also anticipated to foster the development of a stronger ecosystem within the electric vehicle industry.

“With BYD’s stronger presence in the Philippines, we hope to contribute to helping build the EV infrastructure in the country, so that more roads will be greener and more motorists transition to rely less on fossil fuels,” Tieng stated. “BYD consistently draws in exceptional individuals eager to push boundaries and defy conventions. We extend a warm welcome to Jaime [Alfonso Zobel de Ayala> and his team as they join us in our endeavor to pave the way for cleaner and greener roads.”

Aside from the new dealership in Quezon City, Solar Transport continues to operate the BYD dealership in Makati City.
