Representatives of the Vietnamese government, Philippine local authorities, GSM, and Xentro Group at the MOU signing ceremony on the supply of 2,000 VinFast EVs to operate the Green Xentro fleet.
The Philippines is taking a major step toward cleaner, smarter mobility as Green GSM, the all-electric ride-hailing brand under the GSM ecosystem, signs a strategic memorandum of understanding (MOU) with AMRC Renewable Corporation/Xentro Motors—a subsidiary of the Philippine-based Xentro Group of Companies. The partnership will deploy 2,000 VinFast electric vehicles to power future operations under the Green GSM platform, championing sustainability and inclusive mobility nationwide.
Under the agreement, Green GSM will provide AMRC Renewable Corp/Xentro Motors with 2,000 units of the VinFast Nerio Green electric vehicle model. The first 1,000 units are already secured, while the rest will be delivered within two years. The fleet will operate under the co-branding “Green Xentro powered by Green GSM” and will soon be seen in Metro Manila and key urban centers once all regulatory and accreditation processes are completed.
Each Green Xentro vehicle—wrapped in Green GSM’s signature cyan—will feature zero tailpipe emissions, whisper-quiet operation, and a comfortable interior, offering passengers a smoother and more sustainable way to travel.
Nguyen Van Thanh – GSM Global CEO shares about the strong partnership between Green GSM and the Philippines during the MOU signing ceremony.
Beyond electrifying transport, the partnership aims to make EV access more practical and convenient. Xentro Motors will tap into its nationwide Xentro Malls network to set up EV charging hubs, passenger pick-up zones, and parking areas. This integration of transport, retail, and energy innovation marks a significant step in embedding sustainability across the group’s property ecosystem.
The collaboration will also leverage VinFast’s service infrastructure—covering fleet maintenance, charging support, and driver assistance—to ensure reliable operations and seamless user experience.
“We are honored to partner with Green GSM in bringing all-electric ride-hailing closer to Filipino communities,” said Noel M. Ignacio, CEO of Xentro Motors. “This collaboration reflects our belief that sustainability and progress can move forward together. By embracing electric mobility, we aim to support the nation’s transport modernization goals and elevate the daily commute for every passenger.”
Dao Quy Phi, Managing Director of Green GSM Southeast Asia, echoed this optimism: “Green GSM always welcomes partnerships with local businesses that share our vision for clean, inclusive, and intelligent mobility. Across Southeast Asia, we’ve worked with more than a hundred enterprises to advance sustainable transportation—and we’re proud to have Xentro as our first partner in the Philippines. When communities and companies move together, everyone benefits.”
As the partnership takes shape, Green GSM and Xentro Motors envision a future where sustainability becomes the standard, not the exception. Through shared innovation, nationwide reach, and a collective commitment to progress, the Green Xentro fleet aims to inspire a growing movement—one that redefines how Filipinos move, connect, and experience everyday journeys.
