Zooming In on the Scale and Spots
Next up, let's talk numbers because they’re seriously impressive. The agreements cover key areas including Metro Manila, Cebu, Davao, Iloilo, Cagayan de Oro, Cavite, Pampanga, Bacolod, Batangas, Baguio, and Ozamiz. These markets already crave better mobility, and now they’re accelerating toward electric solutions that cut pollution while meeting high demand.
Green SM Partners With 75 Philippine Transport Companies To Deploy Up To 18,497 VinFast Electric Vehicles
Hanoi, Vietnam, May 15th, 2026 – Green SM has signed a series of Memoranda of Understanding (MOUs) and deposit agreements with transport companies and cooperatives in the Philippines, supporting the planned deployment of up to 18,497 VinFast electric vehicles for passenger transport operations across the Philippines. The agreements represent the next phase of Green SM’s expansion strategy in the Philippines through a partnership model that combines Green SM’s technology platform and operational standards with local market expertise and deployment capabilities.
The agreements involve 75 transport companies and cooperatives operating across multiple provinces and cities in the Philippines, including Metro Manila, Cebu, Davao, Iloilo, Cagayan de Oro, Cavite, Pampanga, Bacolod, Batangas, Baguio, and Ozamiz. These markets continue to experience strong mobility demand alongside accelerating adoption of cleaner and more efficient urban transport solutions.
Under the partnership plan, the parties expect to deploy a fleet of 18,497 vehicles through a combination of direct investment and long-term leasing arrangements, including VinFast VF 5/Herio Green and Limo Green models optimized for ride-hailing and passenger transport operations.

Real Voices, Real Vision
Additionally, leaders are hyped about this shift. Mr. Gio Colmenares from Asia Prime Force Corporation highlights how scale, efficiency, and sustainability now work hand-in-hand. He sees Green SM’s platform delivering operational clarity and serious growth potential across Southeast Asia.
Meanwhile, Ms. Dave Baldoza and Ms. Rachel Ann Villanueva emphasize benefits for cooperatives and ecosystem coordination. They point out that this model modernizes fleets while keeping operations stable. Mr. Nguyen Van Thanh, Global CEO of GSM, adds that electrifying transport is an active, ongoing transition – one that Green SM tackles practically through adaptable partnerships.
Driving Toward Tomorrow
Finally, partners will soon finalize orders and launch phased operations throughout 2026. This rollout builds on earlier successes, like the initial 2,500 vehicles with Xentro Group, and expands both fleet size and reach. Consequently, the Philippines strengthens its role in Southeast Asia’s electric mobility wave.
Green SM’s approach mixes centralized standards with local execution, creating consistent service that still flexes to regional needs. Ultimately, this partnership opens doors for more transport players to join the sustainable shift. The roads ahead look electric, efficient, and full of possibility – and I can’t wait to see those VinFast fleets lighting up the streets!
