The Philippines-based Green GSM has launched its all-electric taxi service in Davao, marking 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 firm said in a statement on Monday that as one of Mindanao’s major urban centers, Davao plays an important role in the country’s economic and social landscape.
The city is often noted 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.
In recent years, Davao has experienced steady growth in population, commercial activity, and daily travel needs, along with ongoing efforts by local authorities to promote cleaner air, responsible urban development, and long-term livability.
These conditions make Davao a suitable environment for modern and efficient mobility solutions that also align with the city’s people-centered approach to development.
Green GSM’s operating model in Davao is built around its green initiatives.
These include exclusively using all-electric VinFast vehicles that produce zero tailpipe emissions, deploying full-time professional drivers trained to deliver predictable and courteous service, displaying transparent pricing in the app, and adopting 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.
“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,” said Dao Quy Phi, Managing Director of Green GSM Southeast Asia.
Since launching in the Philippines in June 2025, Green GSM has focused on providing mobility solutions that prioritize reliability, transparency, and environmental responsibility.
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.
