With a portfolio that includes Liqui Moly, Brembo, Sankei 555, and Furukawa Battery, the 58-year-old autoparts solutions powerhouse is presenting a practical mobility story focused on efficiency, safety, reliability, and power readiness.

Aligned with PIMS 2026 theme ‘Forward in Every Drive,’ BSB Junrose is showcasing automotive solutions that demonstrate how mobility in the country could be more practical, relevant, and more accessible for more Filipino motorists. While the company remains steadfast in bringing to the local market high-standard and appropriate technologies and solutions, it continues to address the changing customer requirements amid an ever-changing world. 

“As mobility continues to evolve, our role is to make sure Filipino motorists continue to have access to trusted products that support efficiency, safety, reliability, and power readiness. At BSB Junrose, we are focused on serving the needs of today’s vehicles while also preparing for the mobility demands of tomorrow,” said BSB Junrose Corporation president Ian Bangayan.

BSB Junrose highlighted some of the most trusted solutions it carries that support the requirements of vehicles today and prepare for the mobility demands in the future. 

Efficiency for modern Filipino motorists

With the uncertainties brought about by the ongoing geopolitical tension in the Middle East, the main fuel source of the nation, vehicle owners across the country have logically turned cost-conscious, leading them to lean towards efficient mobility. Liqui Moly‘s low-friction motor oils, oil additives, and cleaners and conditioners are among the top-of-mind solutions for maximizing fuel economy, improving throttle response, and increasing overall engine efficiency. 

“For many Filipino motorists, practical maintenance has always been the most accessible way to attain better fuel use, smoother vehicle performance, and ultimately, longer vehicle life. Through the Liqui Moly line of products we distribute, more efficient journeys can be achieved through a cleaner system, reliable engine protection, and increased combustion performance for a superior automotive experience,” said Bangayan. 

Safety across changing mobility landscape

BSB Junrose understands that road safety is always a non-negotiable factor for all vehicle owners. That is why the company takes pride in bringing to the local market Italian brand Brembo, which itself owns a history that defines the global evolution of braking. Among those being showcased are the Brembo brake pads and discs that are ‘better together’ in delivering outstanding braking performance, so each stop is quick, smooth, and dependable. 

“When we welcomed Brembo into our roster of brands in 2023, we noted that it aligns with our own mantra that ‘good enough isn’t good enough.’ We remain proud to offer the best braking systems intended to vehicles powered by traditional fuel, hybrid technology, or even electric platforms. Filipino car owners, racers, and enthusiasts deserve nothing but the best in braking technology,” said Bangayan. 

Reliability on the road ahead

Notwithstanding the usually challenging road conditions in the countryside and even in our cities, Filipino vehicle owners keep the confidence while driving tough through the reliability of the steering and suspension components in automotives. BSB Junrose is the local distributor of ‘Made in Japan’ Sankei 555 Steering and Suspension Parts, with Rack & Pinion Steering Type, Front Suspension & Steering Linkage Type, and joints steering parts, among others in the line. 

“Sankei 555 Steering & Suspension Parts is the leading in the country, in terms of steering and suspension. You may not be aware, but Sankei 555 could already be installed in your car, keeping you and your passengers safe all the time. Thus, it should be your top choice for parts replacements.”

Power readiness for everyday mobility

Frequent accelerating and stopping of the car consistently force the vehicle’s battery to work much harder. That is why the stop-and-go city traffic is very costly for Filipino drivers and their vehicles alike. BSB Junrose is a proud distributor of 75-year-old Japanese battery brand Furukawa Battery (also known as FB Battery), which offers specialized auxiliary batteries that are engineered to handle high electrical demands in modern vehicles. 

“Furukawa Battery brings the best batteries designed to withstand the country’s road conditions, Filipinos’ driving habits, and other issues like quick discharging rates, shortages, fast water loss, and accelerated internal chemical reactions due to the usual hot climate,” said Bangayan. “The brand’s auxiliary battery powers sensitive electronics like security, infotainment, and start-stop systems even when the engine is off. Voltage drops are prevented during engine restarts as well.”

Arriving on Philippine shores after massive success in major global automotive markets like Thailand, Europe, and Latin America, this EV compact hatchback offers eco-conscious urbanites a perfect blend of runway-ready Milanese style, advanced technology, and class-leading practical utility. 

If you are looking for a game-changing electric ride that perfectly fits the fast-paced modern lifestyle, here are five reasons to love the GAC AION UT:

1. Massive "Big Car Energy" in a Compact Footprint

While categorized as a compact hatchback, the GAC AION UT completely defies its exterior dimensions by providing an open, lounge-like cabin environment. Engineered around a dedicated EV platform, it features a class-leading 2,750mm wheelbase that delivers a generous 905mm of rear legroom. This outpaces all direct competitors and ensures three adults can ride comfortably in the back without rubbing knees. It subverts traditional hatchback limitations, giving you the interior space of a much larger vehicle while remaining perfectly sized for navigating tight city spaces.  

2. Ultimate Urban Utility for an Empowered Lifestyle

Perfect for fast-paced daily routines, the cabin features a flexible 440-liter boot space that expands extensively when the rear seats are folded to accommodate groceries, luggage, or sports gear. Even better, it supports Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) capability, transforming the car into a mobile power source. This allows you to run electronic devices directly during outdoor trips or weekend getaways, giving you unparalleled freedom to power your lifestyle wherever you go.  

3. Total Peace of Mind with an Advanced Safety Suite

Tailored for both novice drivers and daily commuters navigating tight city routes, the GAC AION UT features an advanced suite of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS). Drivers can navigate gridlocks confidently with Adaptive Cruise Control, Forward Collision Warning, Automatic Emergency Braking, Lane Departure Warning, and a 360-degree Surround View Camera System. Highlighting its safety foundations are large 2.1-meter V-shape side curtain airbags and an intelligent Drive-off Assist system to prevent mis-acceleration.  

4. A Seamless, Tech-Forward Cabin Experience

Inside the cockpit, the driver is greeted by an 8.88-inch LCD instrument cluster, while a highly intuitive 14.6-inch Touch Control Central Screen manages infotainment and vehicle settings. The media system fully supports both wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity. This ensures that urban professionals remain effortlessly plugged into their digital lives while on the move. 

5. Agile Performance and Zero-Anxiety Fast Charging

The GAC AION UT Elite variant delivers premium sustainable mobility with a highly efficient Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor, generating 100 kW (136 PS) and a responsive 145 Nm of torque. Built with a high-strength steel body structure and GAC’s ultra-safe Magazine Battery 2.0 technology, it features a reliable 47.1 kWh Lithium Iron Phosphate battery. When the battery runs low, its advanced DC Fast Charging capability can replenish the power from 30 percent to 80 percent in approximately 30 minutes, and provide a range of over 400 kilometers when fully charged, making daily commutes and weekend trips outside the city completely seamless.  

Ultimately, the GAC AION UT successfully highlights how a vehicle can provide class-leading space, versatility, and practicality without sacrificing an ounce of style or urban drivability. From navigating the daily gridlock to escaping the busy metro on weekend road trips, it proves that premium, sustainable electric mobility can seamlessly fit into the modern Filipino lifestyle.

Prestigious global accolades support the AION UT’s rise, including "The Most Valuable EV Award" at the Bangkok International Motor Show, "Best Compact Electric Vehicle Award" in Mexico, and "BEST SUBCOMPACT HATCHBACK 5 Dr.EV" at Thailand's CAR OF THE YEAR 2026, alongside widespread praise from global media and customers.

Since its global debut in 2025, the AION UT has expanded and become popular across Thailand, Australia, Latin America, and Europe. GAC's Milan Design Center designed the AION UT, combining "Digital Magic Cube" aesthetics with a stylish fastback silhouette, which roots its success in exceptional product strength. While categorized as a compact hatchback, it surprises drivers with its "Big Car Energy", offering a class-leading 2,750mm wheelbase that provides an open, lounge-like cabin environment.

We are confident that the AION UT will bolster dynamic, safe, and sustainable driving for Filipinos this 2026".

Filipino Drivers Embrace the AION UT

As the AION UT hits Philippine roads, early adopters are already experiencing the benefits of the transition to electric mobility. Paul Lacson, a Silay City government employee and GAC car owner, shared his experience with his new Rococo White AION UT.

"I also have a two-year old GAC Emzoom, and the quality of the brand made me confident in choosing the AION UT. Since the fuel crisis, I've been using the AION UT for everyday commutes. The drive comfort is very good, and the power for its size is very strong, especially on the highway. I took it on an out-of-town trip and for a 100-kilometer stretch, I only used 20% of the battery. It's been a game-changer for my family".

Lacson noted that he compared the AION UT against several other EV and hybrid competitors but found the GAC offering superior in terms of features and overall value. "Features-wise, the AION UT was more advantageous. It's spacious, efficient, and the cost savings are better for my family. I didn't listen to the naysayers, I checked out the brand and the cars myself, and both had been truly better for fuel and energy efficiency compared to my older cars."

For Jeff Filio, a Quality Analyst and a first-time EV owner, the AION UT proved to be the right choice after researching his options. "I was looking at other brands, but after I saw the AION UT in an ad, I looked into it further and saw the higher range and better tech. It was actually the first release of the Aion UT at GAC Kawit," said Filio. "We got the two-tone unit, which is exactly what my wife and I like. Picking up the unit was a special family experience.  It was my grandma’s birthday, and we all had a lot of fun. My gut feeling, based on research and reviews, was right; I really like it, and the GAC app is also very handy".

Driving Global Globalization

The rapid rise of the AION UT reflects the accelerated rollout of GAC's strategy. As GAC approaches the major milestone of its 30-millionth vehicle rollout, the AION UT serves as a testament to the brand's ability to harmonize international engineering with localized needs.
