VinFast and MGA.414 Corporation (which operates the JIGA auto service chain) have officially signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to expand the network of service centres for VinFast electric vehicles (EVs) in the Philippines, aiming to establish over 100 service workshops across the country by the end of this year.
Under the MOU, VinFast and JIGA will actively collaborate to designate service centres as official VinFast service hubs or authorised facilities for the repair, warranty and maintenance of VinFast electric vehicles in the Philippines.
JIGA’s service centres in the Philippines will meet VinFast’s stringent standards for infrastructure, machinery, equipment and workforce expertise, while prioritising the provision of genuine services and spare parts for VinFast vehicle owners. This partnership will enhance convenience and peace of mind for customers.
The agreement addresses the growing demand for electric vehicles among Filipino consumers, while reinforcing VinFast’s long-term commitment and determination to drive green transformation in the country. The Vietnamese pure-play EV manufacturer aims to achieve a network of over 100 EV service centres nationwide by 2025.
As part of the collaboration, VinFast pledges to support JIGA through personnel training programs, technical consultation and knowledge-sharing initiatives to accelerate the expansion of its authorised service network.
JIGA, a leading automotive service provider in the Philippines specialising in tires, wheels, and vehicle maintenance and repair, currently operates 16 facilities across key regions such as Luzon (majority in NCR, Makati, Taguig, and Paranaque), Visayas (Iloilo, Bacolod, Roxas, Capiz, and Cebu). With its robust network and extensive experience, JIGA is an ideal strategic partner for VinFast in its mission to penetrate the Philippine market.
JIGA President, Mr. Michael Abanero, stated: “The market for electric vehicles is expanding in the Philippines, and this collaboration with VinFast, a pioneering brand in the electric vehicle industry, is a step toward enhancing JIGAs service capabilities while also enabling us to support the sustainable development trend and offer Filipino consumer the best of the best services.”
Mr. Pham Sanh Chau, CEO of VinFast Asia added: “Our collaboration with JIGA is a strategic step toward fulfilling VinFast’s commitment to providing an optimal EV ownership experience for customers in the Philippines. We are confident that the combination of VinFast’s green vision and JIGA’s professional service network will mark a significant milestone in promoting sustainable transportation in this market.”
Since officially entering the Philippine market in 2024, VinFast has introduced smart and environmentally friendly electric vehicle models while demonstrating its long-term commitment through attractive sales policies and an ever-expanding after-sales service network.
Partnering with leading companies like JIGA enables VinFast to optimise its business operations, enhance brand recognition and uphold its customer-centric philosophy as part of its global expansion strategy.
In Southeast Asia, VinFast is dedicated to building a comprehensive “For a Green Future” ecosystem, with a particular focus on collaborating to expand EV charging stations and service networks. The success of this model has been proven in Vietnam and is gradually being realised in other promising markets, including the Philippines.
