BYD Cars Philippines and BPI Tokyo Century Rental Corp. (BPITCRC) have partnered on an electric vehicle rental program that supports both companies’ Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) initiatives.
BPITCRC has acquired a BYD Atto 3 electric crossover from BYD Cars Philippines which may be rented or leased through Diamond Rent-a-Car, BPITCRC’s car rental and leasing arm.
The collaboration agreement between BYD Cars Philippines and BPITCRC signifies the electric vehicle (EV) brand’s engagement in the EV leasing business.
Both companies will jointly develop programs to synergize their sustainability initiatives further.
“We believe the experience of driving a BYD electric vehicle is essential to building a knowledge-driven market,” said Jaime Alfonso Zobel de Ayala, chief executive officer of ACMobility. ACMobility is Ayala Corp. ’s end-to-end mobility provider and the Philippine distributor of BYD passenger cars.
“Introducing innovation and technology is always challenging, especially when they are as groundbreaking as BYD’s electric vehicles. ACMobility, through BYD Cars Philippines, has partnered with BPI Tokyo Century to make access to BYD’s technologically superior, feature-rich, and safe electric vehicles easier for the public. The more people are aware of the virtues and rewards of sustainable mobility through electric vehicles, and the more they experience the ACMobility charging ecosystem firsthand, the easier it will be for us to progress towards an all-electric mobility future,” Zobel said.
“AC Mobility will provide a very attractive unit of BYD EV. BPI Tokyo Century will provide auto lease and Diamond Rent-a-Car will provide car rental service. I believe that the EV Rent-a-Car experience for both individuals and corporations will push customers to choose BYD electric vehicles. Once you drive BYD EV, you will be fascinated by the comfortable experience. Further, this will also contribute to the Environmental, Social, and Governance initiatives of corporate clients. We will definitely accelerate the expansion of our business and further build a better Philippines with BYD and AC Mobility,” said Satoshi Matsuo, president and CEO of BPI Tokyo Century Rental Corp..
