Vinfast gets more service partners to boost network in PH

MANILA: VinFast has teamed up with MGA.414 Corporation (which operates the JIGA auto service chain) in its bid to establish a strong service network in the Philippines.

In a statement, the Hai-Phong-headquartered marque partnered with the service chain to establish more than 100 service workshops across the country by the end of this year.

Based on the signed Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), VinFast and JIGA will designate service centers as official VinFast service hubs or authorized facilities for the repair, warranty, and maintenance of the brand’s electric vehicles.

The said service centers shall meet VinFast’s standards for infrastructure, machinery, equipment, and workforce expertise and prioritize the provision of genuine services and spare parts for owners.

Vinfast noted that the agreement between the two companies “addresses the growing demand for electric vehicles among Filipino consumers” while reinforcing the automotive manufacturer’s long-term commitment and determination to drive green transformation in the country.

VinFast will also support JIGA through personnel training programs, technical consultation, and knowledge-sharing initiatives to accelerate the expansion of its authorized service network.

According to the Vietnamese automotive marque, JIGA serves as an ideal partner “in its mission to penetrate the Philippine market” — noting that the latter currently operates 16 facilities across key regions:

• Luzon (majority in the National Capital Region)
• Visayas (Iloilo, Bacolod, Roxas, Capiz, and Cebu)

 “The market for electric vehicles is expanding in the Philippines, and this collaboration with VinFast, a pioneering brand in the electric vehicle industry, is a step toward enhancing JIGA's service capabilities while also enabling us to support the sustainable development trend and offer Filipino consumers the best of the best services. Excited guid kami, tanan nga taga-JIGA, to work with VinFast (we in JIGA are excited to work with VinFast,” JIGA President Michael Abanero.

For his part, VinFast Asia Chief Executive Officer Pham Sanh Chau, considers the newly-formed alliance “a strategic step” towards fulfilling its commitment to providing an optimal EV ownership experience for customers in the Philippines.

“We are confident that the combination of VinFast’s green vision and JIGA’s professional service network will mark a significant milestone in promoting sustainable transportation in this market,” he added.

Earlier, VinFast also forged an agreement with Motech — which has a 63-workshop network — authorizing the latter to service the marque’s units in the country.
