After the successful June 10, 2025 launch of Green GSM, the electric taxi service of Green and Smart Mobility Joint Stock Company (GSM), its 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. 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 highlights a growing demand for sustainable, reliable, and tech-forward transportation alternatives across the country.
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 VF e34 Nerio Green 5-door electric compact SUVs, 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. 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.
