BYD Cars Philippines and ACMobility, the Philippine distributor of BYD vehicles, have pledged to donate $100 to Super Typhoon Carina's victims for every BYD Sealion 6 DM-i sold from July 25, 2024 until December 31, 2024.
This campaign is part of both companies' broader efforts to the affected communities and reflects their dedication to social responsibility. In fact, ACMobility was one of the first to mobilize disaster response efforts by distributing relief goods to over 100 families in Dela Paz, Pasig City, on July 26. Employees and volunteers from ACMobility, BYD Cars Philippines, and its affiliate agencies participated in the cause.
“On behalf of BYD, I would like to express my sympathy to the people affected by Typhoon Carina. We, together with ACMobility, wish to extend BYD's support to Filipinos who suffered from this unfortunate disaster,” said BYD Asia Pacific Auto Sales Division General Manager Liu Xueliang.
The [BYD Sealion 6 DM-i](https://bydcarsphilippines.com/vehicles/byd-sealion6-dmi) is an all-electric compact SUV that runs on BYD's proprietary Super DM-i Technology—generating power well beyond the typical electric vehicle. It generates 217 horsepower and 325 Newton meters of torque, enabling it to go from zero to a hundred in just over eight seconds.
Furthermore, the vehicle runs on Blade Battery, allowing it to drive up to 105 kilometers in Pure EV Mode and 1,100 km in Extended Range Mode. It empowers drivers to travel without range anxiety. Attendees of ACMobility and BYD Cars Philippines' relief drive even used the Sealion 6 DM-i's Blade Battery to charge devices on-site.
The Sealion 6 DM-i starts at ₱1,548,000. With every unit sold, BYD and ACMotors donate $100 to Typhoon Carina's victims until the end of 2024.
"Guided by our company value of malasakit, we remain committed to going above and beyond in serving our communities during these trying times," BYD Cars Philippines Managing Director Bob Palanca shared.
Super Typhoon Carina—internationally known as Gaemi—brought widespread devastation across the Philippines. The National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC) stated that Carina, on top of the southwest monsoon, affected over 1.3 million Filipinos.
