Green GSM launches in PH as first all-electric taxi service

Green GSM begins EV taxi operations in Metro Manila

The first all-electric taxi service in the Philippines is now ready to move commuters in a zero-emission style.

Green and Smart Mobility Joint Stock Company (GSM) has officially launched Green GSM, a ride-hailing service that promotes sustainable, accessible, and eco-friendly urban transport.

Founded in Vietnam in March 2023, the Philippine market is GSM’s fourth international market, following Vietnam, Laos, and Indonesia. This represents a significant milestone in the company’s “Go Green Global” strategy to advance sustainable mobility worldwide.

The service will operate an exclusive fleet of VinFast Nerio Green electric vehicles, offering smooth, quiet rides and zero emissions. 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.

Operating to international standards, Green GSM delivers a five-star experience powered by professionally trained drivers. Unlike the usual boundary system implemented by taxi operators in the country, the drivers of Green GSM are employed by the company and are given full employment benefits.

Furthermore, the Green GSM drivers are 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;
• Smart – leveraging AI to enhance operational efficiency, safety, and transparency.

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.

Commuters can start riding with Green GSM via the Green GSM mobile app, now available on App Store and Google Play; by calling the hotline 02-7777-8080; hailing a Green GSM taxi on the street; or catching a ride at designated public pick-up points throughout Metro Manila.

To celebrate its launch, Green GSM is offering an exclusive promotion: 500 Green Points (worth PHP 500) for users who register and take their first ride. Green Points can be applied as discounts on the first seven trips. This offer is valid from June 10 to August 31, 2025, encouraging Metro Manila residents to embrace a smarter, greener, more modern way to travel.

“The Philippines marks a strategic chapter in our Go Green Global journey. But more than expanding to a new market, our true goal is to ignite a real transformation – shifting from traditional mobility to an electric future that is cleaner, smarter, and more socially responsible.” said Mr. Nguyễn Văn Thanh, Global CEO of GSM.
