What Green GSM does

Green GSM (legal name Green And Smart Mobility Philippines Inc.) is the Philippine operating entity of Green and Smart Mobility Joint Stock Company (GSM), a Vietnam-headquartered subsidiary of Vingroup founded on March 6, 2023. The company operates an all-electric ride-hailing service exclusively using VinFast-manufactured electric vehicles, with a current operational fleet of approximately 2,500 taxis in Metro Manila and a planned expansion to 18,497 vehicles across 11 Philippine cities and provinces through partnerships with 75 transport companies and cooperatives. Its product portfolio includes the core Green GSM Car consumer taxi service, the Green GSM mobile app (iOS and Android with 2M+ monthly active users), the Green4Biz B2B corporate transport platform offering centralized trip monitoring and expense management, and the Green SM Limo premium sub-brand using VinFast Limo Green seven-seater SUVs.

The technology stack combines an app-based booking platform with real-time driver tracking, cashless and digital payment systems, AI-powered interior/exterior cameras in the Secure-to-Safe safety system, and digitized driver onboarding integrated with Philippine National Bank's Corporate Account Portal. Green GSM also retails VinFast EVs directly to consumers through its own platform. Revenue is generated primarily through transaction fees on ride-hailing fares (distance- and time-based with provincial fixed rates, VAT and insurance included), with secondary revenue from B2B corporate accounts, VinFast vehicle sales, and partnership fleet deployment arrangements. The 75-company partnership model combines Green GSM's technology platform and operational standards with local execution capabilities, with operators reportedly achieving 75-87% per-kilometer cost reductions versus combustion vehicles.

Green GSM serves two primary customer segments: individual consumers (B2C) seeking eco-friendly urban transportation across daily commute, family trips, business meetings, and airport transfers, and businesses and organizations (B2B) via Green4Biz. It also serves a third channel: transport companies and cooperatives deploying EV fleets through direct investment or long-term leasing. Distribution is multi-channel: direct-to-consumer app, B2B field sales, driver partner network recruitment, and aggregator integration via Grab Philippines. Globally, GSM operates across Vietnam, Laos, Indonesia, the Philippines, and India with 80,000+ employees and a claimed 25 million cumulative customers, with the Philippine entity headquartered in Pasay City at the Five E-Com Center, Mall of Asia Complex.

• Bolt: Bolt is a European-headquartered ride-hailing and mobility platform expanding into emerging markets. Comparable on app-based ride-hailing and B2B platform play, with similar city-by-city rollout cadence.
• Careem: Careem (owned by Uber) is a ride-hailing and delivery super-app in the Middle East, North Africa, and South Asia. Comparable on app-based ride-hailing in emerging markets with multi-service platform strategy.
