Valenzuela City is leading the way in sustainable urban mobility as it becomes the first Local Government Unit (LGU) in the Philippines to deploy an electric vehicle (EV) police fleet.
BYD Cars Philippines, in collaboration with ACMobility, is advancing Valenzuela City’s environmental goals after it signed a contract with the city to provide 41 BYD Dolphin EVs. These units, to be supplied by BYD Greenfield, will be deployed to the city’s police force.
This sustainable mobility initiative by the city will provide round-the-clock security coverage while supporting Valenzuela’s shift to cleaner technologies. It also aligns with the city’s sustainability goals and complies with the Electric Vehicle Industry Development Act and Republic Act No. 1285, which promote EV adoption in government operations.
“By eliminating the need for fuel and significantly reducing maintenance costs, the BYD Dolphin offers the City of Valenzuela the potential to save up to 70% of its fleet’s operational and maintenance budget over a five-year period,” said Bob Palanca, Managing Director of BYD Cars Philippines. “This, combined with its zero tailpipe emissions, makes the BYD Dolphin a financially and environmentally sound investment for the city.”
With the largest EV police fleet in the Philippines, Valenzuela City is leading the way toward a future where environmental responsibility is at the forefront of public services.
ACMobility will deploy twenty 7kW and two 22kW EV chargers across the city to reinforce this shift and ensure the seamless operation of Valenzuela’s electrified police fleet.
