PHILIPPINES – On June 16, 2025, The Green GSM ride-hailing app soared to the top of the Travel & Local category on the Google Play Store Philippines, surpassing other platforms even before its official debut. This remarkable achievement set the stage for the successful launch of Green and Smart Mobility Joint Stock Company’s (GSM) electric taxi service, Green GSM, in the Philippines last June 10.

In the first 48 hours following its launch, the app recorded tens of thousands of downloads, quickly establishing a strong foothold in Metro Manila. The overwhelming response underscores a growing demand for sustainable, reliable, and technologically advanced transportation alternatives nationwide.

Green GSM’s expansion into the Philippines marks a significant milestone in its mission to accelerate the adoption of electric mobility in Southeast Asia, offering eco-conscious commuters a cleaner, safer, and smarter way to travel.

All Green GSM vehicles are modern VinFast Nerio Green electric cars, offering smooth, emission-free rides that embody the company’s commitment to promoting a green lifestyle integrated with cutting-edge technology. Each vehicle is equipped with the Secure to Safe (S2S) active safety monitoring system, ensuring maximum safety for passengers, especially women, children, and the elderly.

The satisfaction expressed by customers and drivers alike highlights a clear shift in commuting habits in Metro Manila, especially toward greener and more modern transportation options. Mr. Nguyen Van Thanh, GSM’s Global CEO, emphasized: "Green GSM is more than just an electric taxi service; it represents a green mobility revolution in the Philippines. Leading the app charts from day one clearly shows the community’s preference for clean, safe, and advanced transport solutions. We are committed to continuous innovation, improving service quality, and expanding our electric vehicle network to help build a sustainable and environmentally friendly transportation ecosystem that best serves the people."

The Green GSM app is designed for user-friendliness, allowing customers to quickly book rides, track journeys in real time, and enjoy clean and comfortable travel experiences. Transparent pricing is ensured through in-vehicle fare meters and clearly posted app rates, providing peace of mind for users.

To celebrate the launch, Green GSM is offering a special promotion: 500 Green Points (equivalent to PHP 500) for new users, redeemable as discounts on their first seven rides. This program runs through August 31, 2025, encouraging adoption of modern, eco-friendly commuting habits in Metro Manila.

Green GSM operates under GSM, a pioneer in 100% electric mobility solutions across Southeast Asia. Expanding to the Philippines marks a significant step in the Go Green Global strategy, helping to establish higher standards of “Greener – Smarter – More Civilized” transportation in the region.

With Green GSM’s presence, Metro Manila is advancing towards becoming a greener, more civilized, and sustainably developed city - where every ride contributes meaningfully to environmental protection and improved quality of life.
