Green GSM has started operating its all-electric taxi fleet in Davao, marking the company’s first expansion outside Metro Manila. The company said that its operation in Davao is part of its long-term plan to introduce a cleaner and modern transportation system across key Philippine cities.
The launch ceremony was graced by Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) Regional Director for Davao Nonito Llanos, along with representatives from various local government departments and agencies.
Davao is one of Mindanao’s major urban centers that plays an important role in the country’s economic and social development. Green GSM shared that in recent years, Davao has experienced a steady growth in population as well as in commercial activity. As such, it requires more public transportation to cater to its booming economic landscape, which is why Green GSM decided to enter Davao and start the operation of its all-electric taxi fleet.
The company said that its operating model in Davao is built around “5 Green Promises:” Good Experience, Good Drivers, Good Cars, Good Pricing, and Good for the Environment.
Green GSM will continue to exclusively use all-electric VinFast vehicles for its Davao fleet. It also promises to deploy full-time professional drivers who are trained to deliver courteous service while displaying transparent pricing in the app, and adopting an operating philosophy centered on “cleaner air, quieter streets, and a better quality of life.” Through these initiatives, Green GSM aims to offer Davao 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,” said Green GSM Southeast Asia Managing Director Dao Quy Phi.
Davao commuters can now book Green GSM taxis through the Green GSM app. Commuters can also book its taxis via hotline, designated pick-up points, or by street hailing in key commercial districts.
As a special introductory offer, Davao residents who download and register on the Green GSM app will automatically receive 25 Green Points, each worth one (1) Philippine peso. These points can be used immediately for the first trip or flexibly applied toward future rides.
