CITY OF SAN FERNANDO — A new player in the region’s automotive landscape is betting big on electric mobility. NET Auto, short for New Energy Transportation, officially opened its first showroom on October 2 at Lourdes Heights Subdivision in the capital city.
The launch marked a milestone for the company’s vision to make eco-friendly vehicles more accessible to Filipino consumers.
“We’re not just opening a dealership—we’re opening a door to a new era of automotive excellence,” said Art Delos Santos, NET Auto after sales manager. “Whether we like it or not, we’re going there. Electrified vehicles are the new trend, and I’m proud to be part of it, especially here in Pampanga.”
The showroom features a curated selection of electric vehicles, plug-in hybrids, and fuel-efficient models from multiple brands, including DFSK, ZNA, and Bestune. According to Delos Santos, NET Auto’s multi-brand approach gives customers a wider range of choices—from compact mini-EVs priced below ₱600,000 to luxury sedans and SUVs.
One of the showroom’s highlights is the ZNA Z9, a plug-in hybrid pickup truck equipped with Level 2 Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS).
“It’s customizable and safe,” Delos Santos noted. “Unlike other brands, this one allows you to lift the suspension and upgrade tires—perfect for customers who want both utility and style.”
The company also introduced incentives to attract early adopters. Customers who purchase select models like the DFSK Candy or Bestune Pony before Oct. 31 will receive a free electric scooter.
“We want to make the shift to electric not just practical, but exciting,” Delos Santos said.
Sales head Jelyn Pineda emphasized the company’s long-term commitment to sustainability and service. “NET Auto was born from passion and hard work. Our vision is to be the most responsive transportation company, offering eco-friendly vehicles and excellent customer service.”
Plans are underway to install EV charging stations at the showroom, with portable chargers already included in every unit sold. “Charging won’t be a problem. “You can plug it into a regular 220-volt outlet at home or at the office.”
With its first branch now operational, NET Auto hopes to expand across North Luzon in the coming months.
“Pampanga is ready,” Delos Santos said. “Our malls already have chargers, and the market is looking for alternatives. We’re here to meet that demand.”
The opening drew guests from the banking sector, partner agencies, and curious residents eager to explore the future of mobility.
