Vinfast's Green GSM now in Davao

MANILA: VinFast-backed Green GSM electric taxi service is now in Davao.

This marks the company’s first expansion outside Metro Manila and part of its long-term plan to support a clean, modern, and well-managed transportation system across key Philippine cities.

The launch of Green GSM in the so-called “Crown Jewel of Mindanao” was attended by notable figures such as Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board Regional Director Nonito Llanos, and representatives from various local government departments and agencies, along with members of the local business community.

“Davao is a city that places strong emphasis on order, safety, and environmental responsibility. Our objective is to provide a reliable, zero-emission mobility option that aligns with these priorities while meeting the everyday transportation needs of local residents. This expansion is a strategic step in our national roadmap for electric mobility, and we look forward to working closely with Davao’s institutions and communities to ensure that the service contributes meaningfully to the city’s long-term goals for well-managed and sustainable urban development,” Green GSM Southeast Asia Managing Director Dao Quy Phi was quoted as saying.

Green GSM’s Davao operating model

Per Green GSM, its operating model in Davao is built around the company’s five “green promises,” namely good experience, good drivers, good cars, good pricing, and good for the environment.

Green GSM noted that its operating model is reflected in the exclusive use of all-electric VinFast vehicles that produce zero tailpipe emissions, as well as the deployment of full-time professional drivers trained to deliver predictable and courteous service.

Likewise, customers from Mindanao’s capital can expect transparent pricing (when using the app), and the adoption of an operating philosophy centered on cleaner air, quieter streets, and a better quality of life.

“By applying these standards in Davao, Green GSM aims to support the city’s broader commitments to sustainable mobility and offer residents a dependable daily transportation choice,” the company wrote in a press release.

Davao: vital in PH’s economic, social landscape

Green GSM appears to firmly believe that Davao plays an important role in the country’s economic and social landscape.

It noted that the city is often regarded for its focus on public safety, environmental conservation, and strong community values, which have helped create a transportation system centered on safety, reliability, and public confidence.

Further, Green GSM pointed out Davao’s steady growth in population, commercial activity, and daily travel needs in recent years. Thanks to the efforts of local authorities to promote cleaner air, responsible urban development, and long-term livability, the area became a suitable environment for modern and efficient mobility solutions that also align with the city’s people-centered approach to development.

“The expansion into Davao highlights the company’s ongoing commitment to supporting cities that emphasize safe governance, community well-being, and sustainable growth, while promoting the broader shift toward cleaner, more efficient urban transportation nationwide,” Green GSM wrote.
