AC Motors is now ACMobility. This rebrand of AC Motors to ACMobility reflects the transformation of Ayala’s mobility business, from one that was predominantly focused on selling automotive vehicles to an end-to-end mobility provider that encompasses services, infrastructure, and eventually digital platforms, among others.
“At ACMobility, we aspire to be the leading mobility provider for all by the end of this decade. By calling ourselves a mobility provider, we seek to go beyond simply selling vehicles. Our goal is to provide value in the whole ecosystem, which includes building a new electric vehicle platform and providing people with different options that enable their mobility in life,” said Jaime Alfonso Zobel de Ayala, CEO of ACMobility.
Since 2023, the Ayala Group has been investing in the development of electric vehicle charging stations. These charging stations have since been consolidated under the helm of ACMobility, which will continue to roll out new stations to support the transition of the automotive industry towards electric mobility. ACMobility currently manages a network of 33 stations in 16 Ayala Land-operated locations, with an aim to add 100 more stations in at least 40 locations within 2024.
ACMobility currently serves as the Philippine distributor of Kia, Volkswagen, and BYD passenger cars in the Philippines, and operates the largest dealer network for Honda and Isuzu in the country. The company is also the master franchisor of Bosch Car Service (BCS), an automotive workshop network that offers “one-stop-shop services”, covering mechanical repairs to intricate electronics, engine systems, safety features, comfort upgrades, transmission expertise, and a host of other services and diagnostics.
“Through each of the brand partners of ACMobility, the company upholds its commitment to quality customer service, and to providing a wide variety of products and services that bring value to customers and help move Filipinos forward amid a rapidly transforming global automotive industry,” Zobel added.
AC Mobility plans to focus more on NEVs
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to the ID series EVs of Volkswagen Philippines in a year or two!
BYD needs the Seagull in order to sell more units in the local market
Did they already drop the Maxus brand?
ReplyDeleteYes. I noticed that too. Seems they dropped the Maxus brand already.
DeleteDear AC Mobility: help VW PH please lol. It would be sad to see it get discontinued
ReplyDeleteVolkswagen won't be discontinued in the Philippines as AC Mobility plans to bring in the ID series EVs in a year or two.
DeletePeople who are against Volkswagen Philippines are Toyota and Hyundai fanatics as they're expecting too much for Volkswagen to manufacture and sell affordable mass market vehicles for ASEAN region which will never ever gonna happen as Volkswagen doesn't really care about what its rivals are doing in SEA region.
Seems Maxus was dropped in the lineup already. So SAIC Phils. will sell both MG & Maxus in one showroom?
ReplyDeleteThat will likely be the case. So far though, SAIC PH is just selling the MG models.
DeleteLooking forward for Maxus under SAIC, MG is doing well under SAIC. After sales services have signficant improvement as well.
DeleteMaxus ain't coming back anymore as Chinese commercial vehicles are hard to sell
DeleteSAIC Motor Philippines will solely focus on MG brand alone in the Philippines
They should Reprice kia and vw like what they did to byd
ReplyDeleteUnlikely to happen as the T Cross and Tharu are gonna be gone in two to three years time as Volkswagen Philippines will go full EV in the near future
DeleteFor now they'll just give away huge cash discounts for those vehicles.
Unlikely for VW ph to go full EV here in ph, they wont be able to compete with BYD which is also under AC motors. Better for VW to bring here more ICE model and priced it competitively. VW here made by china SAIC should be priced at level just like other china car brands here. RE: same specs/features, same made in china GAC emzoom R style 1.1M vs VW Tharu 1.9M, a whooping 800k priced difference
DeleteVolkswagen Philippines already hinted that they're going full EV lineup in a year or two
DeleteBYD isn't a problem as its got a totally different EV lineup and pricing.
Volkswagen Philippines last ICE vehicles are T Cross and Tharu..They won't bring in the others as made by SAIC and FAW as those aren't available for export market purposes.
Volkswagen Philippines isn't interested of competing with GAC so time to stop your delusions.
car buyers not fool and compare car specs and pricing thats why Here in ph bcoz of unreasonable high priced VW ph beaten by newbie GAC
DeleteTo be honest, car buyers now are very good on comparing specs/features and pricing of car brands. Thats why VW tharu were outsold by newbie GAC gs3. A whooping 800k difference between gs3 and tharu can buy you another car.
