BYD’s Green Fleet Makes a Historic First Stop in Batangas
BYD has taken a decisive step toward cleaner mobility in Southeast Asia, unloading more than 1,500 brand-new New Energy Vehicles (NEVs) at the Port of Batangas. The shipment arrived aboard BYD’s purpose-built roll-on/roll-off (RoRo) vessel—its first international port call—and signals faster, lower-emission deliveries for Filipino motorists eager to switch to electric.
Why This Matters for Filipino EV Buyers
- More units, less waiting: Dedicated RoRo service means shorter lead times and steadier inventory for dealerships nationwide.
- Lower carbon footprint: LNG dual-fuel engines and smart routing slash vessel emissions by over 30 percent versus conventional carriers.
- Local jobs on board: Half the crew are Filipino seafarers, underscoring BYD’s commitment to inclusive, home-grown expertise.
- Reliable parts pipeline: Regular sailings ensure a continuous flow of spare parts—translating to faster service and better ownership experiences.
“This milestone proves the Philippines is ready for large-scale EV adoption,” said Bob Palanca, Managing Director of BYD Cars Philippines. “Being the vessel’s first stop highlights our shared vision of clean, future-ready mobility.”

These features make the vessel a floating, energy-efficient garage, purpose-engineered to protect EV batteries in transit and speed up loading times with its intelligent ramp system.
Part of an Eight-Ship Global Green Logistics Network
The Batangas call is just the beginning. BYD’s RoRo is the first of eight eco-friendly carriers set to criss-cross the globe, aligning the company’s clean-energy manufacturing with equally sustainable distribution. Overseas exports already rose 159.5 percent year-on-year, and this green fleet will scale deliveries even faster—getting BYD’s Blade Battery EVs into driveways worldwide with minimal environmental impact.
“Launching in Batangas shows how advanced logistics drive our sustainable future,” noted Adam Hu, Country Head of BYD Philippines. “We’re delivering on BYD’s promise of clean mobility—efficiently and at scale.”
