Valenzuela City Leads the Charge with BYD Dolphin EV Fleet<\/strong><\/p>\n

Transforming Public Service with Electric Mobility<\/strong><\/p>\n

Valenzuela City, Philippines<\/strong> \u2014 The future of sustainable public service<\/strong> has arrived in Valenzuela. In a groundbreaking initiative, BYD Cars Philippines<\/strong> and ACMobility<\/strong> have officially deployed 41 BYD Dolphin electric vehicles (EVs)<\/strong> to support the city\u2019s police and administrative operations. With this move, Valenzuela becomes the first local government unit (LGU) in the Philippines<\/strong> to operate the country\u2019s largest EV police fleet<\/strong>, setting a new benchmark for cleaner, smarter governance<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

To ensure seamless EV integration, ACMobility’s subsidiary<\/a>, Greenstrum<\/strong>, has installed 15 AC chargers<\/strong> across 12 locations<\/strong> in Valenzuela. These strategically placed charging stations will keep the Dolphin EV patrol fleet<\/strong> powered as officers navigate the city\u2019s streets. The result? Reliable, emission-free transportation for law enforcement and emergency services<\/strong>, further reinforcing the LGU\u2019s commitment to modernization.<\/p>\n

“These EVs will now serve and protect the people\u2014not just as tools of law enforcement, but as symbols of a cleaner, smarter, and more responsible future,”<\/em> said Bob Palanca<\/strong>, Managing Director of BYD Cars Philippines<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Expanding EV Charging Infrastructure for the Public<\/strong><\/p>\n

ACMobility\u2019s commitment to EV infrastructure<\/strong> doesn\u2019t stop at government fleets. The company is set to install public EV charging points<\/strong> in key locations throughout Valenzuela, making sustainable mobility more accessible<\/strong> to private EV owners.<\/p>\n

The first public 60 kW DC fast charger<\/strong> has already been activated at Valenzuela\u2019s Alert Station<\/strong>. Additional charging stations will soon be installed along major thoroughfares<\/strong>, including NLEX, MacArthur Highway, and Mindanao Avenue<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

These charging points will be visible and accessible<\/strong> through the Evro app<\/strong>, ensuring users can easily find locations, check availability, and charge their EVs without hassle. ACMobility\u2019s long-term vision is to create a nationwide EV network<\/strong>, giving more Filipinos the confidence to transition to electric vehicles.<\/p>\n

“We are laying the foundation for an extensive public charging system to make EV adoption effortless, convenient, and accessible to all Valenzuelanos,”<\/em> said Valenzuela City Mayor Wes Gatchalian<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

A Fleet Built for the Future<\/strong><\/p>\n

Of the 41 BYD Dolphin EVs<\/strong>, 35 units<\/strong> will be dedicated to law enforcement<\/strong>, ensuring officers can patrol efficiently while reducing the city\u2019s carbon footprint<\/strong>. Five units will be assigned to city government offices<\/strong>, while one unit<\/strong> will serve as a first responder vehicle<\/strong> for emergency situations.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Key specifications of the BYD Dolphin EV Fleet<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • 95 PS electric motor<\/strong> delivering smooth acceleration<\/strong> and whisper-quiet operation<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
  • 44.9 kWh BYD Blade Battery<\/strong> with a 405-kilometer range<\/strong> per charge.<\/li>\n
  • Fast-charging capability<\/strong>: From 10% to 80% in 30 minutes<\/strong> for uninterrupted service.<\/li>\n
  • Upfitted police units<\/strong> with lights, sirens, and integrated communication systems<\/strong> for effective patrols.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    By switching to EV-powered patrol cars<\/strong>, Valenzuela aims to significantly cut its fuel consumption<\/strong> while reducing air pollution<\/strong>, making city streets safer and more environmentally friendly.<\/p>\n

    Valenzuela’s Leadership in Sustainable Transportation<\/strong><\/p>\n

    As the first LGU to implement large-scale electric mobility<\/strong>, Valenzuela is setting the standard for smart cities in the Philippines<\/strong>. The decision to transition to BYD Dolphin EVs<\/strong> aligns with global trends in green governance<\/strong>, offering an example that other municipalities can follow.<\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    “This is just the beginning of a transformative journey,”<\/em> said Mayor Wes Gatchalian<\/strong>. “We are proud to be torchbearers in the country\u2019s shift toward electrified public services.”<\/em><\/p>\n

    With a robust EV charging network<\/strong>, an efficient police fleet<\/strong>, and continued investments in sustainable mobility<\/strong>, Valenzuela is proving that the future of government service can be both innovative and environmentally responsible<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
