HANOI -- Green and Smart Mobility (GSM), the electric vehicle taxi brand owned by the chairman of Vietnamese conglomerate Vingroup, has risen to the top of the domestic market just two years after launch and has started to expand overseas.

GSM began offering the "Green GSM" taxi service in metro Manila on Tuesday with a 2,500-vehicle fleet. The launch appears to have gotten off to a hot start, as the company's app was downloaded over 100,000 times within a few hours, GSM CEO Nguyen Van Thanh said.
