Inchcape Philippines and Changan have mutually agreed not to renew their distribution partnership in the Philippines, as Changan advances its long-term plans for the Philippine market.
The partnership is now in a transition period that will run through Q4 2026.
Existing customer commitments, including aftersales, warranty, parts and service support remain valid throughout the transition period.
Alex Hammett, Managing Director, South Asia & Pacific, Inchcape, said:
“Since 2023, Inchcape Philippines and Changan have worked together to build the Changan brand in the Philippines, supported by Inchcape’s local expertise, distribution capabilities and dealer network.”
“We are committed to supporting our customers, colleagues, dealers and business partners through this transition, and I would like to thank our team at Inchcape Philippines and our dealer partners for their valuable contribution to building and supporting the Changan brand in the Philippines over the past three years.”
“The Philippines remains an important market for Inchcape, with the company continuing to distribute Mercedes-Benz passenger cars, trucks and buses, as well as Jaguar Land Rover, and operating the retail business of Harley-Davidson. Inchcape’s focus is on continuing to grow our existing portfolio and bringing new products to our customers in the Philippines.”
The country is also home to Inchcape’s Digital Delivery Centre and Global Business Services teams, which together employ more than 700 colleagues and support Inchcape’s global operations.
Further information on arrangements following the transition period will be communicated once these are confirmed.
