GSM Corporation launches its electric taxi service, Green GSM, in the Philippines, becoming the first electric taxi brand in the country.
The Philippines marks the fourth market entry for GSM, following Vietnam, Laos, and Indonesia, and is a significant step in its Go Green Global strategy to expand its pure electric transportation model internationally.
The launch event was held at the Quezon Memorial Circle, Quezon City, graced by prominent figures such as Ms. Ma. Cristina A. Roque, Secretary of Trade and Industry (DTI); Mr. Vivencio Bringas Dizon, Secretary of Transportation (DOTr); Mr. Frederick D. Go, Presidential Adviser on Investments and the Economy; Mr. Teofilo E. Guadiz III, Chairman of the Land Transportation and Franchising Regulatory Board (LTFRB); Ms. Joy Belmonte, Mayor of Quezon City; Mr. Lai Thai Binh, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Vietnam to the Philippines, along with nearly 100 strategic partners from banking, transportation, energy, retail, and technology sectors.
Green GSM will initially operate in 10 out of 16 cities and areas within Metro Manila, the economic, political, and cultural center of the Philippines, serving a population of over 13 million. The fleet consists of modern VinFast Nerio Green electric vehicles, ensuring a smooth and environmentally friendly ride.
The distinctive teal color of the fleet combines green, representing sustainability, and blue, symbolizing pioneering technology. This choice of color reflects Green GSM’s commitment to offering a modern lifestyle in harmony with the environment.
Every journey with Green GSM is not just a comfortable ride but also an eco-conscious choice, empowering individuals to actively contribute to emission reduction and the mitigation of air pollution and noise from their daily transportation decisions.
Operating with an international standard, Green GSM promises a 5-star service with a professional team of drivers trained in skills, etiquette, and road safety. All vehicles are equipped with the Secure to Safe (S2S) monitoring system, embodying three core values: Secure – proactive monitoring and risk management; Safe – ensuring peace of mind for all passengers, especially women, children, and the elderly; Smart – leveraging artificial intelligence to enhance operational efficiency and transparency. Green GSM’s pricing is transparent, with integrated meters in the vehicles and publicly available rates on the mobile app. The rates are competitive and offer better value compared to other ride-hailing services, providing a superior comfortable, convenient, and luxurious experience worth the fare.
With the message “Hello Philippines: Move Forward the Green Way,” Green GSM aspires to become a symbol of a civilized lifestyle in the Philippines, where mobility is not just convenient but also environmentally responsible, enhancing the quality of life in metropolitan areas.
Mr. Nguyen Van Thanh, Global CEO of GSM, shared, “The Philippines is a strategic milestone in GSM’s Go Green Global journey. Beyond market expansion, Green GSM’s ultimate goal is to drive a true sustainable shift, from traditional to green, clean, and modern mobility, with a clear commitment to social responsibility towards the environment and community.”
Customers can access Green GSM’s electric taxi service through the Green GSM app, available on the App Store and Google Play, by calling the hotline 02-7777-8080, or by hailing a Green GSM vehicle on the road or at designated public parking areas within its operating areas in Metro Manila.
To celebrate its launch, Green GSM introduces a special promotion, offering up to 500 Green Points (worth PHP 500) to new users who register and experience the service. These Green Points can be redeemed for discounts on the first seven trips. The promotion runs from June 10 to August 31, 2025, encouraging Filipinos to embrace a new generation of mobility that is greener, more convenient, and more modern.
