KTM AG gets new arm for PH

MANILA: KTM AG now has a new arm for the Philippine market.

As posted over their respective social media pages, the new exclusive distributor of KTM and Husqvarna motorcycles in the country is Lucky MAPI. The formal turnover took effect today (October 1).

As posted online, Adventure Cycle Philippines, Incorporated (ACPI) ceased its operations as the two marques’ distributor on September 30, 2024. The statement noted the former had mutually agreed with KTM AG to pre-terminate the Importer Agreements. 

Following the turnover of distributorship, Lucky MAPI will now be responsible for the marketing, sales, after-sales services, and other operational activities relating to the KTM and Husqvarna Motorcycle brands in the Philippines.

To note, ACPI became the Austrian two-wheeler brand’s distributor in 2016. Both firms had high hopes for the brand’s presence in the country as expressed in the formation of a manufacturing facility at Laguna Technopark in Sta. Rosa, Laguna.

Formed through a joint-venture partnership between ACPI and KTM AG (KTM Asia Motorcycle Manufacturing, Incorporated), the site had an initial target of producing 10,000 units annually (varying from the Duke 200 and 390 as well as the RC 200 and 390 models). Eventually, it also supplied the brands’ demand in other neighboring countries.

On other hand, Lucky MAPI is under Motor Ace Philippines – a known multi-brand motorcycle dealer, which apart from KTM, also retails brands such as Honda, Kawasaki, Suzuki, TVS, and Yamaha.
