Vietnamese green taxi co. officially launches in PH
Green and Smart Mobility Joint Stock Company (GSM) officially launched Green GSM, the first all-electric taxi service in the Philippines. The launch marked GSM’s entry into its fourth international market, following Vietnam, Laos, and Indonesia, and represents a significant milestone in the company’s “Go Green Global” strategy to advance sustainable mobility worldwide.
The grand launch took place at Quezon Memorial Circle in Quezon City, which was attended by H.E Ma. Cristina A. Roque, Secretary of the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI); Vivencio Bringas Dizon, Secretary of the Department of Transportation (DOTr); Frederick D. Go, Special Assistant to the President for Investment and Economic Affairs; Teofilo E. Guadiz III, Chairman of Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB); Hon.Joy Belmonte, Quezon City Mayor; H.E Mr. Lai Thai Binh, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Vietnam to the Philippines, and nearly 100 strategic partners across sectors including banking, transportation, energy, retail, and technology.
Green GSM will begin operations in 10 of the 16 cities and districts that make up Metro Manila – the Philippines’ political, economic, and cultural heartland, home to over 13 million people. The service will operate an exclusive fleet of VinFast Nerio Green electric vehicles, offering smooth, quiet rides and zero emissions.
The fleet’s signature cyan color, blending green (symbolizing sustainability) and blue (representing innovation), embodies Green GSM’s vision of a modern lifestyle that respects and protects the planet.
With Green GSM, every ride goes beyond just getting from point A to B — it’s a conscious choice for a greener tomorrow. By choosing electric mobility, riders actively contribute to reducing carbon emissions, air pollution, and noise, all while enjoying a premium, future-ready transport solution.
Operating to international standards, Green GSM delivers a five-star experience powered by professionally trained drivers, rigorously educated in safe driving, etiquette, and customer care. Every vehicle is equipped with the Secure to Safe (S2S) monitoring system, anchored by three core pillars: Secure – real-time monitoring to proactively manage risks; Safe – ensuring peace of mind for every passenger, with special focus on women, children, and the elderly and Smart – leveraging AI (artificial intelligence) to enhance operational efficiency, safety, and transparency.
Fares are transparently calculated through in-car meters and clearly displayed on the Green GSM app. Pricing is highly competitive and offers greater value compared to conventional ride-hailing services, ensuring comfort, convenience, and affordability for every ride.
With the message “Hello Philippines: Move Forward the Green Way”, Green GSM aspires to become a new symbol of smart and sustainable urban living in the Philippines – where everyday travel choices help build cleaner cities and healthier communities.
