VIETNAM – VinFast will make its first appearance at the Manila International Auto Show (MIAS) 2025 as the event celebrates its 20th anniversary, showcasing its growing commitment to the Philippines’ electric vehicle market amid the country’s push for sustainable transportation.
In recent years, people around the world have been paying more attention to electric vehicles.
In 2024, global sales of electric cars jumped by 25%, hitting 17.1 million units, a clear sign of the accelerating shift toward sustainable transportation.
Government actions worldwide are fueling this surge, too.
Several countries have ambitious plans, aiming for electric vehicles to make up half of all new car sales by 2030.
These policies underscore a shared global effort to cut carbon emissions and clean up the air. As governments push for a greener future, automakers and consumers alike are responding to the call for change.
The Philippines, in particular, is emerging as a promising market for electric vehicles.
Home to over 110 million people, the country presents a significant opportunity for EV adoption.
And the government has also noticed. With the introduction of the Electric Vehicle Industry Development Act (EVIDA), the country aims to reduce its dependence on imported fuels and advance its journey toward energy independence.
