Pham Nhat Vuong, chairman of Vietnam’s largest private conglomerate Vingroup, has established Green and Smart Mobility Joint Stock Company (GSM), which offers VinFast electric cars and motorbikes for rental and taxi services.
This is the first green transport service model in the world aiming to popularize the experience of electrified mobility and encourage a green lifestyle, the company said.
GSM has a charter capital of VND3 trillion (US$126.8 million), to which Vuong contributed 95 percent.
The company will offer electric car and motorbike rental services to conventional taxi and ride-hailing firms as well as their rideshare partners.
It will also provide taxi services itself using its own electric cars. The services will be made available in Hanoi next month and spread nationwide this year.
