BYD Cars PH teams up with Sunshine Events for Ironman 70.3 Davao

MANILA: BYD Cars Philippines has teamed up with Sunshine Events for the upcoming Ironman 70.3 Davao. 

The ACMobility-led electric car brand held a ceremonial signing event at its dealership in Manila Bay, where BYD Cars Philippines also unveiled its triathlon teams. 

Representing the Chinese carmaker’s local wing are Nico Bolzico, Alden Richards, and Wil Dasovich. The said celebrities will compete in the Run, Bike, and Swim categories, respectively. They will be joined by athletes Jennifer Uy (Run), Jens Jacobsen (Bike), and Olympian Jasmine Alkhaldi (Swim). 

Per BYD Cars Philippines, the said partnership is driven by the shared belief that true performance is earned through intelligence, discipline, and innovation. And as one of the leaders in global new energy vehicles, the company sees a direct parallel between the world’s most respected endurance race and its own engineering philosophy. 

“Our partnership with Ironman 70.3 Davao is a testament to BYD’s commitment to endurance, performance, and technological excellence. By supporting this premier athletic event, we aren't just showcasing our vehicles; we are proving that sustainable, electrified mobility can meet the most demanding standards of precision and power,” BYD Cars Philippines Managing Director Bob Palanca was quoted as saying. 

“We are excited to engage with the triathlon community and demonstrate how our advanced technology can empower every athlete's journey toward a better future,” he added.
