HANOI, VIETNAM -
Media OutReach Newswire - 28 February 2025 -
VinFast and Motech Automotive Service Centers, through its franchisor and operator
in the Philippines, officially signed a Memorandum of Understanding
(MOU) on expanding the service network for VinFast electric vehicles in
the market. The agreement aims to meet the increasing demand for
electric vehicles among Filipino consumers, while affirming VinFast's
long-term commitment and determination to promote green transformation
across the region.
Under the MOU, VinFast and Motech will actively work together toward the
goal of accrediting 63 Motech service workshops as authorized VinFast
service centers. These service centers will be authorized to perform
repairs, warranties, and maintenance for VinFast electric vehicles in
the Philippines.
As part of its commitment to enhancing customer experience, VinFast
plans to establish more than 100 similar service workshops across the
Philippines this year, and its recent agreement with Motech is part of
the Vietnamese electric vehicle maker's plan to expand its partner
network in the Philippines.
Motech's service workshops will meet VinFast's standards for facilities,
equipment, and personnel, with a priority on providing genuine services
and parts to VinFast owners.
To facilitate the rapid expansion of Motech's authorized VinFast service
workshop system, VinFast will provide personnel training and technical
advice. This support is especially important given the expected volume
growth of VinFast electric vehicles in the Philippines.
Motech currently operates a chain of auto service centers with a variety
of models and scales, encompassing hundreds of facilities throughout
the Philippines, including locations from the tip of the Philippine
archipelago in Tuguegarao, to the main cities of Metro Manila, and down
south to the island of Mindanao.
Furthermore, the two parties will actively explore business cooperation
opportunities, information sharing, and joint marketing activities
related to electric vehicle after-sales services in Southeast Asia.
Johann Rommel Naguiat, President and CEO of Motech Automotive Philippines shared: "Motech
is thrilled to partner with VinFast as an authorized service provider
for their electric vehicles in the Philippines. Confident in VinFast's
potential within Southeast Asian market, Motech looks forward to this
collaboration to support the growing EV market and to continue to
deliver exceptional customer experience. Further, this partnership
between VinFast and Motech, a first of its kind in the Philippines,
helps the Philippine market embrace the change to greener mobility, by
answering the issue of not only range anxiety, but that of the issue of
service anxiety as well. With Motech's network of stores and the
reputation it has built in its communities, VinFast customers can drive
with confidence, that their VinFast vehicle will be well cared for,
anywhere at anytime."
Mr. Pham Sanh Chau, CEO of VinFast Asia, said: "Leveraging
Motech's strong reputation, experience, and extensive service network,
we aim to provide Filipino customers with peace of mind and
satisfaction, aligning with VinFast's core principles of high quality vehicles, inclusive
pricing, and outstanding after-sales policy. We are confident this
partnership will simplify EV ownership and usage, empowering customers
to join the global movement towards green transportation."
Since officially entering the Philippine market in 2024, alongside
launching its green and smart car models, VinFast has strongly affirmed
its long-term commitment through attractive sales policies and a
continuously expanding after-sales network.
By partnering with leading, reputable after-sales service providers,
VinFast has not only optimized its Philippine operations but also
strengthened its brand recognition, demonstrating its "Customer-centric"
philosophy throughout its global expansion.
In Southeast Asia, VinFast is actively pursuing its "For a Green Future"
vision by developing a comprehensive and inclusive electric vehicle
ecosystem, focusing on expanding the network of charging stations
through collaborative efforts. This vision has achieved significant
success in Vietnam and is expected to continue growing in other
potential markets./.
