Hanoi (VNA) – Chairman of Vietnamese conglomerate Vingroup Pham Nhat Vuong on March 6 decided to establish GSM (Green - Smart - Mobility) Joint Stock Company, specialising in offering VinFast electric car and motorbike rental and taxi services.

The company is expected to provide the market with 10,000 cars and 100,000 motorbikes made by the VinFast Trading Service Limited Liability Company, a subsidiary automaker of Vingroup.

With a charter capital of 3 trillion VND (126.77 million USD), the GSM, founded by Vuong, who owns a 95% stake, is expected to begin operation in Hanoi next month and then nationwide this year. The company will offer rental services to transport companies, while operating its own electric taxi service.
