Vietnam’s electric vehicle manufacturer VinFast is revving up its presence in the Philippines with an ambitious plan to establish over 100 authorized service centers by 2025. This initiative is the result of a strategic partnership with four significant Philippine companies: Goodyear Philippines, Tire King and Rubber Products, Power Tread Services, and Marcjan Cavite.
Under the recently signed memoranda of understanding (MoUs) and service level agreements (SLAs), these firms will run official VinFast service centers, offering maintenance, repairs, and dedicated customer care, all in accordance with VinFast’s stringent global standards.
The rollout is set to be swift, with VinFast and Goodyear Philippines collaborating to introduce 50 authorized centers this year alone. Meanwhile, Marcjan Cavite plans to launch eight centers, while Tire King and Power Tread each target seven. These facilities are designed to meet high standards for equipment and technician qualifications, ensuring that VinFast owners receive only genuine parts and premium services.
VinFast is also extending a hand of support to its partners, offering training, technical consulting, and operational expertise to facilitate the rapid establishment of this service network. This latest expansion builds upon previous agreements with Philippine partners JIGA and Motech, further underscoring VinFast’s determined strategy to bolster its EV ecosystem and enhance after-sales services in the country.
Since entering the Philippine market nearly a year ago, VinFast has been making waves with its innovative EV models, competitive sales strategies, and a burgeoning after-sales network. Its broader ambition in Southeast Asia is to foster a “For a Green Future” ecosystem, focusing heavily on building charging infrastructures and service centers—a successful model already thriving in Vietnam and now actively being pursued in the promising Philippine market.
As electric vehicles soar in popularity, VinFast is not just plugging into a trend; it’s setting the pace for the future.
