BYD shows Cagayan De Oro the electrified future in Tech Tour

BYD Cars Philippines distributor ACMobility successfully concluded its first-ever Tech Tour in Mindanao, which was held in Cagayan De Oro City from June 27 - 29, 2025. The event marked a significant milestone in bringing the brand’s high-tech EVs, DM-i plug-in hybrids (PHEVs), and charging infrastructure to the region.

Customers from CDO also 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,” said Bob Palanca, Managing Director of BYD Cars Philippines.

The BYD Tech Tour in CDO offered interactive exhibits, immersive technology showcases, and hands-on experiences with BYD’s growing range of models. These include the Seal 5 DM-i, Sealion 6 DM-i, Sealion 5 DM-i, eMAX 7, and the Shark 6 DMO. Also shown was ACMobility’s expanding EV charging network, with the Philippine EV Spine initiative serving as a key component of its nationwide rollout.

“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,” shared Adam Hu, BYD Philippines Country Head.

Currently, ACMobility has activated 9 EV charging locations in Mindanao, and by year-end, more EV charging points will go online on the island, including one in Pagadian City, Zamboanga Del Sur. The company has already laid out plans for continued expansion throughout the country to ensure dependable and convenient access for EV owners in urban centers and 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, Head of Mobility Infrastructure at ACMobility.
