Green and Smart Mobility JSC (GSM; Vietnamese: CTCP Di chuyển Xanh và Thông minh), operating as Xanh SM (lit. 'Green SM' or 'Cyan SM', stylized all-uppercase) in Indochina, as well as Green SM and redundantly Green GSM (also stylized all-uppercase) in other ASEAN markets, is a taxi and ridesharing company in Vietnam. This company operates in two main fields: electric taxis and rental of electric cars and motorcycles from VinFast, with an investment scale of 10,000 cars and 100,000 motorcycles. It is the first all-electric taxi company in Vietnam.[1]
GSM was founded by Phạm Nhật Vượng, chairman of the Vingroup, with a charter capital of 3,000 billion VND, of which Phạm Nhật Vượng holds 95% of the shares.[2] GSM is considered as the world's first green transportation rental and multi-platform taxi company.[3] [4] It officially started operations in Hanoi on April 14, 2023.[1]
The primary color of GSM is cyan.[5] [6] The company launched operations in Laos in 2023, being its first market outside of Vietnam. It was followed by Indonesia in late 2024, initially operating as Xanh SM and later renamed to Green SM.[7] [8] It started operations in the Philippines as Green GSM in mid-2025.[9] [10]
History
[edit ]
GSM was founded by Phạm Nhật Vượng with a charter capital of 3 trillion VND, of which Phạm Nhật Vượng holds 95% of the shares.[2] The company officially began operations in Hanoi on April 14, 2023.[11] [12]
Xanh SM Taxi was established in response to Vietnam's national goal on climate change, with efforts to reduce emissions from transportation vehicles.[13] [14]
On April 27, 2023, Xanh SM launched in Ho Chi Minh City.[15] [16] On October 13, Xanh SM deployed 150 VinFast electric cars (VF 5 Plus) to Laos, becoming an international electric ride-hailing company.[17] [18] On November 9, Xanh SM Laos launched in Vientiane.[19]
As of May 2024, Xanh SM has over 30,000 electric taxis, accounting for more than 40% of the total taxis operating in Vietnam.[20]
In Indonesia, the service was first introduced as Xanh SM in December 2024. However, in April 2025, it was renamed Green SM for easier pronunciation by Indonesians.[21]
In December 2024, the company announced that VinFast withdrew its VF 8 electric vehicles from the GSM taxi service to reinforce the model’s premium market positioning.[22] The VF 8 fleet will be transferred to FGF, a company specializing in the sale and rental of VinFast electric cars, to offer rental services to individuals and businesses or for direct sale to interested customers. GSM’s taxi services will continue with other VinFast models, including the VF 5 and VF e34.[23]
Partners
