The Philippine Economic Zone Authority (Peza) is actively working to attract more investments in electric vehicles (EVs) by promoting its ecozones as prime locations for manufacturing and export. Peza Director General Tereso Panga highlighted the advantages of investment-ready sites, fiscal incentives, and strong logistics connectivity. Recently, Indonesian automotive firms Astra Visteon and Diametral Involute registered with Peza, showcasing the growing interest in the region. Additionally, VinFast Auto Ltd., Vietnam's leading EV manufacturer, is exploring the establishment of charging facilities and manufacturing capabilities within Peza ecozones. This development aligns with Peza's goal to enhance investments in EV manufacturing, battery assembly, and sustainable mobility technologies. VinFast has already made strides in the Philippines by partnering with the Provincial Government of Bataan to deploy 600 charging stations and 1,200 battery-swapping stations. Furthermore, discussions with the Vietnamese Ambassador to the Philippines suggest potential business delegations to strengthen economic ties, creating opportunities for collaboration between the two nations in the automotive sector.
