Vietnam’s Green and Smart Mobility JSC (GSM) has signed a strategic cooperation agreement through its Lao subsidiary with the Vietnam Business Association in Laos (AVILA) to expand electric taxi and green transport services in Vientiane. The partnership targets the rollout of fully electric mobility solutions for businesses and urban users.
Under the agreement, GSM Laos will deploy an all-electric fleet for taxi services, airport transfers, event-based transport and customised mobility solutions. Partner enterprises will gain access to a digital transport management system for route tracking, reporting and cost optimisation. The project also includes EV experience programmes, training workshops and awareness campaigns.
The initiative aligns with Laos’ national sustainable development agenda and positions AVILA as the first business organisation to formally collaborate with GSM on green mobility deployment in the country. GSM has stated that the Laos expansion is part of its broader regional strategy following earlier electric taxi launches in Southeast Asia.
