V-Green and Green GSM Philippines have signed an agreement (MOU) with Manila Electric Company (MERALCO), the largest power distributor in the Philippines. The goal is to work together to grow electric vehicle (EV) infrastructure across the country.
This milestone marks a significant step forward in the efforts to promote green transportation and develop the electric vehicle (EV) ecosystem in the Philippines, the duo said in a statement on Wednesday.
As part of the agreement, the three companies will work together to speed up the use of electric vehicles (EVs) in the Philippines. Their main focus will be on launching electric taxi services and building a network of public charging stations.
They will team up to find and assess good locations for EV charging stations and taxi hubs, help roll out the charging network efficiently and sustainably, and look for ways to expand EV use in busy areas like Metro Manila and other major cities.
The agreement also includes plans to explore joint projects like creating solar-powered charging stations, sharing knowledge on EV technology and training workers for the growing EV industry.
“We believe this partnership between V-Green, MERALCO, and Green GSM will create meaningful and positive change in the Philippines’ urban transportation landscape,
“Expanding a comprehensive charging network powered by renewable energy will not only accelerate the green transition but also improve the quality of life for Filipino citizens,” said Nguyen Thanh Duong, Chief Executive Officer of V-Green.
Meanwhile, Dao Quy Phi, Chief Executive Officer of Green GSM Philippines, shared that public access to clean, safe and environmentally friendly mobility is heavily dependent on robust infrastructure.
“We believe this collaboration with MERALCO and V-Green will unlock significant growth opportunities for the electric taxi industry in the Philippines,” he added.
Manuel V. Pangilinan, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of MERALCO added that this partnership brings together their collective strength in infrastructure, technology, and experience that will redefine their cities and their communities.
“Together, we intend to reframe the way we think about energy, transport, and sustainability,” he added.
V-Green is a company that builds green infrastructure and is focused on creating a smart and easy-to-use network of EV charging stations.

In the Philippines, VinFast, V-Green, and Green GSM are working together to create a complete electric transportation system. This includes selling EVs, building charging stations, and running electric taxi services.
Together, they aim to offer people affordable, safer, and smoother travel options while helping the country move toward a cleaner, greener future.
