JETOUR Auto Philippines, Inc. (JAPI) has recorded its strongest sales performance among CAMPI members and has been recognized by the Chamber of Automotive Manufacturers of the Philippines, Inc. (CAMPI) as the top-selling Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV) brand in the Philippines for the first half of 2026.
The achievement reflects the growing confidence of Filipino consumers in JETOUR’s Lightning i-DM Series or PHEV lineup, including the JETOUR T1 Lightning i-DM, JETOUR T2 Lightning i-DM, and JETOUR X70 Lightning i-DM, as well as the company’s expanding dealer network, excellent customer service, and continuous product development. For United Asia Automotive Group, Inc. (UAAGI), the parent company of JETOUR Auto Philippines, the achievement is both a source of pride and a responsibility to continue earning the trust of its customers.
“This is not simply about the numbers. For us, it is about the confidence Filipino consumers have placed in JETOUR,” said UAAGI Chairman Mr. Rommel Sytin. “We are sincerely grateful to our customers, dealers, and employees who have helped us reach this point. This milestone encourages us to do better and continue earning that trust.”
JETOUR Auto Philippines Managing Director Mr. Miguelito Jose added that the recognition reinforces the company’s commitment to electrified mobility. “Being recognized as the country’s leading PHEV-selling brand for the first half of the year is a proud moment for everyone at JETOUR Auto Philippines. More importantly, it gives us a greater responsibility to ensure that our products and services continue to meet the expectations of our customers.” And we credit its growth to the people behind the brand.
Aftersales: Built Over Two Decades
One of UAAGI’s key strengths is the after-sales infrastructure it has developed over its more than 20 years in the Philippine automotive industry. The group has built a nationwide support system encompassing dealerships, service facilities, parts distribution, technical training, and personnel development. This infrastructure now supports UAAGI’s six automotive brands for BAIC, Chery, Foton, JETOUR, JETOUR GAIA, and Radar.
At the heart of this system is the group’s extensive parts and logistics operation, anchored by its 8,700-square-meter Base 2 facility in Valenzuela. The warehouse forms part of UAAGI’s broader parts network and carries approximately 986,000 spare parts, ranging from routine maintenance components to major mechanical and electrical parts. With distribution hubs in Valenzuela and Clark, UAAGI reports an average parts fill rate of approximately 94%, with parts availability targeted within 24 hours for Metro Manila and up to three days for dealerships in the Visayas and Mindanao.
For JETOUR customers, this infrastructure provides an important layer of assurance as the brand’s vehicle population continues to grow.
Building Technical Expertise for the Future
UAAGI further strengthened its after-sales capabilities with the opening of the UAAGI Center for Technical Excellence in Valenzuela in January 2026.
Located within a two-hectare property, the facility serves as the group’s central training hub for sales and after-sales personnel across its six brands.
The 1,200-square-meter training center features four specialized learning environments and can accommodate up to 120 trainees simultaneously. Its programs cover everything from fundamental diagnostics to advanced powertrain, electronics, chassis, and brake systems, including specialized training in hybrid and electric vehicle technologies.
Strengthening Dealer Partnerships
JETOUR’s sales organization, led by Sales Director Mr. Nikko Sayson, together with Deputy Directors Mr. Ryan Dela Cruz and Ms. Julie Sevilla, continues to work closely with dealer partners through sales programs, training, incentives, and operational support. “Our dealers are an important part of our success,” said Mr. Sayson. “We consider them partners, not simply distribution channels. When our dealers succeed, our customers benefit, and JETOUR grows in a healthy and sustainable way.”
JETOUR’s T1 Lightning i-DM, JETOUR T2 Lightning i-DM, and JETOUR X70 Lightning i-DM have gained traction among Filipino buyers seeking the benefits of electrified mobility without sacrificing
practicality, performance, and capability. Customer experiences and recommendations have also contributed to the brand’s growth, particularly in areas such as fuel efficiency, driving performance, comfort, technology, and overall value.
Service Beyond the Sale
JETOUR Auto Philippines continues to strengthen its after-sales infrastructure through its dedicated Customer Care Center, which assists customers with vehicle inquiries, test drives, service appointments, and emergency support. Customers may reach our Kendee Hotline at 0917-5-JETOUR (0917-5-538687), with messaging support available 24/7. After-Sales Director Mr. Eryx S. Guiang emphasized that customer support remains central to the company’s growth.
“Selling a vehicle is only the beginning of our relationship with a customer. Our responsibility continues throughout the ownership journey. We are investing in facilities, technicians, genuine parts, and customer support so that JETOUR owners can have confidence in the service available to them.”
Building the JETOUR Brand
JETOUR’s growing presence in the Philippine market has been supported by an active marketing and communications program led by Marketing Director Ms. May De Los Santos. The company’s marketing strategy combines digital communication, product education, customer programs, brand partnerships, and social media engagement to introduce JETOUR to more Filipino consumers.
“Our approach is to let people understand what JETOUR offers and, more importantly, what the brand represents,” Ms. De Los Santos said. “We want our communication to be informative, relevant, and connected to the everyday experiences of Filipino motorists.” She also acknowledged the contribution of media partners, content creators, brand collaborators, and customers who have helped introduce JETOUR to wider audiences. “We are grateful to the members of the media and our partners who have taken the time to understand our products and tell their audiences about them.
We also value the customers who willingly share their own JETOUR experiences. Their support has helped us reach people in a way that advertising alone cannot.” JETOUR continues to explore partnerships with companies and organizations in areas such as lifestyle, technology, hospitality, and other industries. The company also works with its growing community of JETOUR owners and car clubs on activities and initiatives that bring people together and support community causes.
Building a Community, Not Just a Customer Base
JETOUR also continues to invest in activities that bring owners and their families together. Off-road experiences, owner gatherings, and car-club drives have become part of the JETOUR ownership experience.
For JETOUR Auto Philippines, the first half of 2026 represents an important achievement but also a reminder of the responsibility that comes with growth. The company will continue expanding its dealer and service network, introducing more electrified models, strengthening customer support, and developing opportunities that contribute to the future of sustainable mobility in the Philippines.
“We are grateful for where we are today,” said Mr. Jose. “But we know that the real measure of our success will be how we continue to serve our customers tomorrow. We will keep listening, keep improving, and keep working to make JETOUR a brand that Filipino families can trust for many years to come.”
Looking Ahead
JETOUR Auto Philippines enters the second half of 2026 focused on responsible growth, stronger nationwide support, and the introduction of more electrified vehicles. Being recognized as the Philippines’ top-selling PHEV brand in the first half of the year is an important milestone, but the company sees it as motivation to continue improving and earning the trust of Filipino families.
JETOUR Auto Philippines is building a nationwide network of nearly 30 dealerships, with additional facilities in development. Its expanding presence now covers Metro Manila, Luzon, the Visayas, and Mindanao, with new locations planned in key growth areas. As the network grows, UAAGI is strengthening after-sales support through its unified service infrastructure. JETOUR dealerships are designed to provide a comprehensive customer experience, while the broader UAAGI network now comprises 126 unified dealerships nationwide, giving customers greater access to service and support.
