Jetour Auto, Maybank Philippines want to make buying EVs affordable
Take home a Jetour Ice Cream EV for just PHP 7,339 per month
Jetour Auto Philippines and Maybank Philippines held a special event at the Synergy Center of the Maybank Corporate Center in Bonifacio Global City (BGC), Taguig last June 5, 2023. To commemorate World Environment Day, both brands took the initiative to raise awareness of electric vehicles (EVs) to promote sustainability.
The collaboration between Jetour Auto Philippines and Maybank is focused on encouraging the adaption of electric vehicles (EVs) and supporting an environmentally friendly lifestyle. One of the key initiatives of this sustainability partnership is the promotion of the Jetour Ice Cream electric vehicles (EVs) with Maybank’s support in providing affordable options for EV ownership, the offer of a low-down payment of 15% or a monthly amortization as low as PHP 7,339 making it easier for individuals to own an electric vehicle.
“We have always looked for partnerships that are aligned with our strategic thrusts and will be able to support our sustainability commitments to our customers and the community in general,” said Maybank Philippines President and CEO Abigail Tina Del Rosario. “We found one in Jetour, and in our own way, through this collaboration, we hope to be a significant contributor to efforts on saving the environment, by acting decisively in lessening our carbon footprint and enabling our customers in their decarbonization journey.”
Miguelito Jose, Managing Director of Jetour Auto Philippines said, “By working together on World Environment Day, as we move forward to transitioning from internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles to hybrids, to a visionary path towards full-electric vehicles. We are grateful to have found a like-minded partner in Maybank, sharing the same purpose and direction as we embark on this remarkable journey together by providing accessible financing options for the Jetour Ice Cream EV, we can make it effortless for new car owners to embrace electric mobility.”
With a starting price of ₱699,000, the Ice Cream EV comes with an 8-year battery warranty or 120,000 km, whichever comes first, and a 3-year vehicle warranty, or 100,000 km, whichever comes first. The tiny EV is positioned as one of the most affordable electric cars in the market, making them more accessible to a broader range of customers.
The collaboration between Jetour Auto Philippines and Maybank Philippines on World Environment Day showcases a shared commitment to promoting environmentally friendly practices and supporting the adaption of electric vehicles in the local market. The joint initiatives aim to educate and inspire individuals to consider EVs a viable and sustainable transportation option.
