MANILA: BYD has reached its 10,000th-new-energy-vehicle-sales milestone in the Philippines.

The milestone unit, a Standard variant of the BYD eMAX 7 in white body color, was turned over to its rightful owner at the ongoing leg of the BYD Tech Tour currently being conducted at the Glorietta Activity Center in Makati.

In an interview, the milestone-unit owner, AMG Systemtechnick Incorporated Solutions Manager Adrian Goh, shared that the newly-acquired unit serves as his fourth BYD model — the first three being a pair of Sealion 6 DM-i, and one Dolphin.

“We really see the value proposition is good. We will use it in our business,” Goh told Zigwheels Philippines.

“We recently went to China and 80-90 percent of the vehicles we saw are BYD models, so might as well give it a try here,” the tech industry executive added.

Here is what the BYD eMAX 7 Standard trim provides to its customers.

Vehicle specifications

The electrified seven-seater multi-purpose vehicle has the following measurements:

Overall dimensions (length, width, height; in millimeters [mm>)	4,710 x 1,810 x 1,690
Wheelbase (in mm)	2,800
Ground clearance (in mm)	170
Turning radius (in mm)	5.8
Curb weight (in kilograms)	1,800

Powering the vehicle is an electric motor in front-wheel-drive configuration that can dish out:

• Maximum output: 161 horsepower
• Peak torque: 310 Newton meters

The aforementioned powertrain lets the vehicle reach 0-100 kilometers per hour in 10.1 seconds.

Providing energy to the electric mill is the 55.4-kilowatt-hour Blade Battery that gives the vehicle a 420-kilometer range (based on New European Driving Cycle standards).

 

Further, the vehicle’s stability and controllability is guaranteed by:

• Disc brakes (ventilated for the front and solid for the rear)
• Suspension system made up MacPherson Strut (front) and Multi-Link type (rear)
• 17-inch wheels wrapped in 225/55 radial tires

Additionally, the BYD eMAX 7 has a vehicle-to-load feature that can power appliances and devices.

As announced at this year’s Manila International Auto Show, the BYD eMAX7 Standard trim is priced at P1.498 million.

For his part,  BYD Cars Philippines Managing Director Bob Palanca expressed pride over the milestone.

“10,000 Filipinos have spoken, electric mobility is the future. They are part of our thrust to share electric mobility solutions in the Philippines,” Palanca said in a separate interview.

According to him, selling the 10,000th BYD NEV in the country signifies Filipino consumers' trust in the brand.

 “Every BYD NEV delivered reflects a customer’s belief in our vision for transformative mobility. This achievement energizes ACMobility and BYD’s drive to lead the country’s electric transformation by offering Filipinos dependable, innovative, and sustainable vehicles supported by services from brands they can rely on,” he continued.

Meanwhile, BYD Philippines Country Head Aiffy Liu expressed elation over the latest accomplishment, noting that the marque was able to deliver such numbers in around a year’s time since it retailed electrified offerings.

“As the Global #1 New Energy Vehicle Brand, Filipinos can expect more cutting-edge NEVs from BYD as we continue to provide the latest in electric vehicle technology, performance, durability, and safety. We thank our customers for their trust in our brand over the past year and for choosing BYD as their smarter, more sustainable mobility solution,” Liu added.
