Vietnam's electric vehicle maker VinFast is set to benefit from its affiliate Green and Smart Mobility (GSM) launching its first overseas electric motorbike taxi service in Jakarta, Indonesia, on September 16, 2026. This expansion adds two-wheeled mobility to GSM's existing electric car taxi fleet in the Indonesian capital, which it has operated since December 2024.
GSM's new service aims to provide convenient, efficient, and affordable transportation options for Jakarta residents, leveraging VinFast's Evo and Feliz II electric scooters. The company is offering attractive financial terms to drivers, including a rent-to-own option starting at IDR 39,000 per day, with guaranteed daily earnings of up to IDR 160,000 and the potential to own the vehicle after two years. Drivers can also opt for flexible rental periods with a deposit of IDR 150,000 and initial guaranteed earnings, along with performance bonuses.
To reduce operating costs and maximize driver earnings, the service includes access to the V-Green battery-swapping network, offering up to five free battery swaps daily. This addresses a key barrier to electric two-wheeler adoption in the region: acquisition cost. The integrated approach, with Green SM, VinFast, and V-Green all under the Vingroup umbrella, allows for capital cost absorption and operational efficiencies.
Launch promotions from September 16 to September 22, 2026, offered significant discounts to first-time customers. GSM's expansion in Jakarta is positioned as a contribution to Indonesia's green transition and emissions reduction goals, aligning with environmental initiatives.
