Green GSM, the all-electric ride-hailing brand under the GSM ecosystem, has signed a memorandum of understanding with AMRC Renewable Corp./Xentro Motors, a subsidiary of the Philippine-based Xentro Group of Companies, for the supply of 2,000 VinFast electric vehicles.
Green GSM will provide 2,000 VinFast Nerio Green electric vehicles to AMRC Renewable Corp./Xentro Motors. The first 1,000 units have already been secured, while the remaining units are expected to be delivered within two years. The fleet will carry the co-brand “Green Xentro powered by Green GSM” and will operate in Metro Manila and other major cities once regulatory approvals are completed.
“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,” said Noel Ignacio, CEO of Xentro Motors.
The Green Xentro fleet will feature Green GSM’s signature cyan color and meet eco-friendly standards used in other markets. The VinFast vehicles are designed for quiet operation and have zero tailpipe emissions, offering passengers a cleaner and more comfortable ride.
Green GSM began rolling out its all-electric ride-hailing service in the Philippines earlier this year. The company is developing a partner-based model to encourage electric vehicle adoption while complying with local transport regulations.
Through the partnership, Xentro Motors will also use its network of Xentro Malls as pick-up points and sites for EV charging stations and parking areas. The collaboration will also tap into VinFast’s service network, which provides fleet maintenance, charging infrastructure, and driver support.
“This partnership with Xentro Motors marks another important step in our regional journey,” said Dao Quy Phi, managing director of Green GSM Southeast Asia.
