When and where will Vietnamese company Vinfast start electric taxi service in India? How will Green SM’s model be different from Ola and Uber? Will Vinfast be able to bring a big change in India’s EV market? Why is VinFast Limo Green considered special for taxi fleets?
vietnam Vinfast, a car manufacturing company, is now preparing to enter the cab service market of India. Vinfast’s subsidiary, Green SM, is planning to launch an electric taxi service in India. India’s Electric Vehicle (EV) market is growing rapidly, and now this Vietnamese company is also going to join this race. The company has made it clear that it does not want to just sell cars in India, but wants to create a complete electric mobility ecosystem.
First phase started in Delhi-NCR
Initially, Green SM can launch around 1,000 electric cabs. The initial focus of the company will be on Delhi-NCR. After this, the company can also expand its service in big cities like Bengaluru and Hyderabad. The company aims to create a network of about 15,000 electric taxis by the end of 2026. If this happens, it could change India’s electric taxi sector to a great extent.
Strategy to reach out directly to people
This step is also important because with this Vinfast vehicles will reach the common people directly. Thousands of people will travel in these electric taxis every day and experience the company’s technology, comfort and features for themselves. Usually new car companies take a long time to build trust in India, but Vinfast can make its mark quickly through the taxi network.
What is Green SM?
Green SM means Green and Smart Mobility. It is part of Vietnam’s Vingroup ecosystem. It is a fully electric ride-hailing platform. The company claims that their service focuses on providing a comfortable, smooth and environmentally friendly ride. Green SM has also been used to popularize the Vinfast brand abroad.
According to reports, the model of Green SM in India will be slightly different from aggregators like Ola-Uber. This will be a model completely controlled by the company. This means that the company will have direct control over the maintenance, drivers, charging system and quality of service of the vehicles. With this, customers can get better experience and the performance of the vehicles remains the same.
Reports also say that the company may use its new electric MPV-like vehicle, VinFast Limo Green, in the taxi fleet. This vehicle has also been seen during testing in India. It has been specially designed to provide comfortable travel to more passengers in cities.
competition will increase
With the arrival of Green SM, competition in India’s electric taxi market will become even tougher. At present, companies like Ola and Uber are active in this sector. With the arrival of a new foreign company, customers will get new options. If Vinfast is successful in its plan, then their electric taxis can be seen in large numbers on Indian roads in the future.
