Toyota Motor Philippines (TMP), through Lexus, is reinforcing its commitment to sustainable, seamless, and secure transportation as the official mobility partner of ASEAN 2026. Lexus electric fleets will be used to transport heads of state and official delegates across key summit locations, including Cebu and Manila.
The ASEAN National Organizing Council emphasizes the partnership’s importance, noting the fitting role of electric vehicles for dialogues regarding environmental sustainability, climate resilience, and energy security. Part of the fleet that will service regional leaders will include hybrid vehicles such as the LS500 and the LM350.
The partnership also highlights the Japanese carmaker’s vision, ‘Lexus Electrified,’ which combines comfort, luxury, and lower-emission mobility. The vision is embodied by the brand’s range of vehicles, including the all-electric RZ, and RX 350h and NX 350h hybrids.

“By serving as the official mobility partner for ASEAN 2026, we aim to demonstrate how secure, seamless mobility can coexist with a deep commitment to nation-building and a sustainable future,” says TMP president Masando Hashimoto.
“Through our electrified lineup, we are providing more than just transport for the region’s highest-level engagements,” adds Hashimoto-san. “We are also showcasing a forward-thinking pathway to electrified elegance that prioritizes both quiet refinement and our collective responsibility toward a greener, more resilient ASEAN.”
