SMC Asia Car Distributors Corp., the official importer and distributor of BMW in the Philippines, is proud to announce its role as the Official Premium Mobility Partner for the ASEAN 2026 Summit. As the Philippines hosts this historic gathering of regional leaders, BMW is providing a diverse, world-class fleet to ensure the highest standards of safety, sustainability, and executive comfort.
The partnership is highlighted by a specialized fleet tailored to the specific needs of the summit’s high-ranking participants:
- 25 Units of the BMW 760i Protection: Reserved exclusively for the Heads of State, these specialized high-security sedans offer an impenetrable sanctuary, meeting the most stringent international standards for ballistic and blast resistance without compromising on flagship luxury.
- 70 Units of the BMW X3 30e xDrive: Deployed for the visiting diplomats, these plug-in hybrid Sports Activity Vehicles (SAVs) provide the perfect balance of electrified efficiency and versatile performance for the summit’s busy transport schedule.
- 30 Units of the BMW i5 eDrive40: Provided earlier in January 2026, these fully electric executive sedans continue to serve the summit, spearheading the event’s commitment to zero-tailpipe-emission mobility and sustainable innovation.
This collaboration underscores BMW’s leadership in the Philippine luxury automotive market and its dedicated “Future Forward” strategy. By integrating battery-electric and plug-in hybrid technology alongside elite protection vehicles, BMW is demonstrating that the future of premium mobility is both environmentally responsible and uncompromisingly secure. Throughout the duration of the summit, BMW’s technical teams will provide 24/7 support to ensure the fleet remains in peak operational condition, reflecting the brand’s commitment to excellence and its support for the region’s diplomatic milestones.
