CAMPI-TMA xEV sales maintain upward momentum as overall retail performance declines further

MANILA: As its overall year-to-date performance continues to decline, electrified vehicle (xEV) sales of the Chamber of Automotive Manufacturers of the Philippines, Inc. (CAMPI) and the Truck Manufacturers Association (TMA) continued their upward trajectory in the first seven months of 2026.

Based on their joint report, xEV sales from January to July this year reached 38,286 units—136 percent higher than the 16,195 units sold during the same period last year.

xEV sales

Leading CAMPI-TMA's xEV sales from January to July 2026 were hybrid electric vehicles, which accounted for 20,716 units.

Battery electric vehicles provided another significant contribution, with 10,476 units sold.

Although it had the smallest share among the three categories, plug-in hybrid electric vehicles posted the biggest percentage increase, with 7,094 units sold—representing a 2,363-percent increase from the same period last year.

Here's a look at the performance:

xEV	Year-to-date sales (as of July 2026)	July 2026
Overall	38,286	7,086
Hybrid electric vehicle	20,716	2,964
Battery electric vehicle	10,476	2,520
Plug-in hybrid electric vehicle	7,094	1,602

Overall sales

The aforementioned figures accounted for nearly 16 percent of the two groups' combined sales of 241,725 units from the start of the year through the end of July. This reflects a 10.2-percent decline from the 269,207 vehicles sold during the same period in 2025.

The commercial vehicle segment—which accounted for more than 80 percent of total CAMPI-TMA sales—sold 193,869 units, 10 percent fewer than the 215,440 vehicles turned over during January-July last year.

Passenger car sales also declined by 11 percent, reaching only 47,856 units versus the 53,767 units sold during the same period a year earlier.

Despite the decline, CAMPI-TMA noted that July posted the highest monthly sales total so far this year. The group's 37,319-unit sales, combined with estimates from other automotive brands, brought total industry sales for the month to 42,880 units.

“With this continuous growth, the industry is riding on good momentum. We are hopeful that the positive trend will continue for the remainder of the year,” CAMPI President Jose Maria Atienza said.

Continuing to lead CAMPI-TMA's sales ranking is Toyota Motor Philippines, which held a 49.11-percent market share after selling 118,706 units to customers.

It was followed by Mitsubishi Motors Philippines Corporation, with 42,592 units sold and a 17.62-percent market share.
