Investing.com -- VinFast (NASDAQ:VFS), the Vietnamese electric vehicle maker, has entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Motech Automotive Service Centers, a franchisor and operator in the Philippines. The MOU, signed on February 28, 2025, aims to extend the service network for VinFast electric vehicles in the Philippines, in response to the growing demand for such vehicles among Filipino consumers.

As per the agreement, VinFast and Motech are set to collaborate on accrediting 63 Motech service workshops as authorized VinFast service centers. These centers will be qualified to perform repairs, warranties, and maintenance for VinFast electric vehicles in the Philippines.

VinFast has plans to establish more than 100 similar service workshops across the Philippines this year. The recent agreement with Motech is part of VinFast’s strategy to grow its partner network in the Philippines. Motech’s service workshops will adhere to VinFast’s standards for facilities, equipment, and personnel, with a focus on providing genuine services and parts to VinFast owners.

In order to expedite the growth of Motech’s authorized VinFast service workshop system, VinFast will offer personnel training and technical advice. This support is crucial considering the anticipated increase in the volume of VinFast electric vehicles in the Philippines.

Motech currently operates a widespread chain of auto service centers across the Philippines, from Tuguegarao at the tip of the Philippine archipelago, to the main cities of Metro Manila, and down south to the island of Mindanao. The two parties will also 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, expressed excitement about the partnership with VinFast. He highlighted the importance of this collaboration in supporting the growing electric vehicle market and delivering excellent customer experience. He also pointed out that the partnership is a first of its kind in the Philippines and will help the market transition to greener mobility.

Mr. Pham Sanh Chau, CEO of VinFast Asia, emphasized the potential of Motech’s extensive service network and strong reputation in providing Filipino customers with high-quality services. He expressed confidence that the partnership will simplify electric vehicle ownership and encourage customers to join the global movement towards green transportation.

Since its official entry into the Philippine market in 2024, VinFast has been committed to expanding its after-sales network. Through partnerships with reputable after-sales service providers, VinFast has not only optimized its operations in the Philippines but also enhanced its brand recognition. In Southeast Asia, VinFast is actively working towards a "Green Future" vision by developing an inclusive electric vehicle ecosystem and expanding the network of charging stations.
