These companies will operate on the Xanh SM platform, forming a strategic partnership and pioneering in developing an electric taxi network, contributing to realizing the goal of greening transportation in the capital of Vietnam.

According to the agreement, taxi companies will purchase and lease 1,000 VinFast electric vehicles from Xanh SM. Xanh SM will ensure the supply of a full range of high-quality electric vehicles, along with professional after-sales services, making it easier for taxi partners to deploy electric vehicle systems and gradually replace their traditional gasoline fleets. Switching to electric vehicles will help these taxi companies in Hanoi reduce operating and maintenance costs and align with the trend toward sustainable transportation development.

Thanks to the cooperation with Xanh SM, customers of Thanh Nga, Bac A, Que Lua, and Long Bien can now book taxis directly through the Xanh SM app, in addition to the traditional methods. This will optimize the booking process and increase customer accessibility, thereby improving the business performance of the companies while offering greater convenience for passengers.

Previously, these 4 companies owned only 20 electric vehicles in total, and some had never put electric vehicles into their operation. A series of business conferences was held, inspiring them to join Hanoi’s green transportation network.

Ms. Nguyen Thi Thanh Thuy, Director of Long Bien Taxi, representing 4 taxi companies, said that this step is essential for taxi companies to lead the way in environmental protection and improving customer experience. "We have great confidence in our partnership with Xanh SM. Switching to electric vehicles not only enhances business performance and reduces operating costs but also meets the growing demand for electric vehicles from both customers and drivers," Ms. Thuy said.

Mr. Nguyen Van Thanh, CEO of GSM, emphasized that the collaboration between the long-established taxi companies in Hanoi and Xanh SM demonstrates the unity and joint effort for the mission of developing the electric taxi network of Vietnamese enterprises. Specially, our partners choosing VinFast electric vehicles instead of foreign brands clearly indicates our reputation, product quality, and best policies. Xanh SM is proud to accompany strategic partners, contributing to sustainable value ​​and reducing emissions, building a greener Vietnam".

Previously, Xanh SM has accompanied and cooperated in green transformation with more than 40 businesses nationwide, increasing the total number of electric vehicles in Xanh SM's network, including electric cars, electric motorcycles, and vehicles of partners, to over 80,000.

The strategic partnership between Xanh SM and major taxi companies in Hanoi not only demonstrates the commitment to sustainable transportation development but also showcases the innovation of business models, paving the way for the green transformation process in the passenger transport industry. Thereby, this cooperation opens up opportunities to build a smart and environmentally friendly transportation ecosystem, contributing to realizing the goal of greening the capital's and the whole country's transportation.
