V-Green, Green GSM team up with MERALCO to boost EV ecosystem in PH

MANILA: V-Green Global Charging Station Development Corporation (V-Green) and Green and Smart Mobility Joint Stock Company (Green GSM Philippines) have partnered with Manila Electric Company (MERALCO) to further develop the electric vehicle (EV) ecosystem in the country.

Under their memorandum of understanding, the three firms will deploy electric taxi services and develop a public charging station network. Specifically, they will jointly identify and evaluate potential locations for charging stations and taxi hubs, support the efficient and sustainable roll-out of charging networks, and explore opportunities to boost electric vehicle adoption in major urban areas such as Metro Manila and other key cities.

The same memorandum also defines potential areas of cooperation such as co-developing solar energy solutions for EV charging stations, sharing technical expertise in EV technologies, and providing workforce training.

V-Green Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Nguyen Thanh Duong expressed firm belief that the partnership is set to create positive change in the Philippines’ urban transportation landscape. “Expanding a comprehensive charging network powered by renewable energy will not only accelerate the green transition but also improve quality of life for Filipino citizens,” he said.

Meanwhile, Green GSM Philippines Dao Quy Phi echoed the V-Green chief’s sentiments, saying that “public access to clean, safe, and environmentally friendly mobility is heavily dependent on robust infrastructure.” “We believe this collaboration with MERALCO and V-Green will unlock significant growth opportunities for the electric taxi industry in the Philippines,” he added.

For his part, MERALCO Chair and CEO Manuel Pangilinan claimed that the recently-forged partnership brings together their “collective strength in infrastructure, technology, and experience” that will redefine cities and communities. “Together, we intend to reframe the way we think about energy, transport and sustainability,” he mentioned.

To note, V-Green is a green infrastructure provider while Green GSM is an electric ride-hailing platform that operates a fleet powered by VinFast vehicles.
