Green GSM Switches To Partner-Based Business Model As It Allocates 2,000 VinFast EVs To Its First Philippine Partner


Green GSM, the country’s first all-electric taxi and ride hailing service, is switching its business model to a partner-based approach in the hopes of propping up its fleet numbers. Its first partner is AMRC Renewable Corporation/Xentro Motors, a subsidiary of the Xentro Group of Companies.

This partnership model is something Green GSM has used to great effect in other countries. To date, the VinGroup subsidiary has established partnerships with over 100 enterprises.

Under the MOU, Green GSM will supply 2,000 VinFast Nerio Green electric vehicles to AMRC Renewable Corp/Xentro Motors. The first 1,000 units have already been secured, with the remaining to be delivered within two years. Xentro has been a strong partner of the VinGroup, also operating its own VinFast dealerships, while its malls serve as locations for some of the V-Green EV charging network.

The fleet will operate under the co-branded, “Green Xentro powered by Green GSM” across Metro Manila and key urban centers, following the completion of all necessary regulatory and accreditation processes.

The Green Xentro fleet will showcase Green GSM’s signature cyan color and follow the same standards set by Green GSM which began its operations early this year.

For its part, AMRC Renewable Corp/Xentro Motors viewed this collaboration as an opportunity to contribute to the country’s growing sustainable transportation movement. Once all approvals are secured, the fleet will begin operations under the Green GSM platform.

Through this partnership, Xentro Motors will also utilize its nationwide Xentro Malls network to offer accessible pick-up zones, EV charging stations, and parking areas, improving convenience for passengers and drivers.

The partnership will also benefit from VinFast’s service ecosystem, which includes fleet maintenance, charging infrastructure, and driver support, strengthening Xentro’s collaboration with the Vietnamese automaker.

“We are honored to partner with Green GSM in bringing all-electric ride-hailing closer to Filipino communities,” said Mr. Noel M. Ignacio, CEO of Xentro Motors. “This collaboration reflects our belief that sustainability and progress can go hand in hand. By integrating electric mobility into our ecosystem, we aim to support the country’s long-term transport modernization goals and enhance daily commutes for users.”

“This partnership with Xentro Motors marks another important step in our regional journey,” said Mr. Dao Quy Phi, Managing Director of Green GSM Southest Asia. “Green GSM always welcomes and creates favorable conditions for local businesses to collaborate on the GSM platform. Across the countries where GSM operates, we have successfully partnered with and supported more than 100 enterprises in building sustainable business models within the electric mobility ecosystem. Xentro is the first of such valued partners in the Philippines, and we believe this cooperation will set a positive example for future collaborations. Our mission remains clear, to work alongside partners who share the same vision for cleaner, smarter, and more inclusive mobility, because when communities and businesses move together, everyone benefits.”
