Green SM, the all-electric taxi service under Vietnam-based GSM, has officially launched in Bekasi of Indonesia.

Green SM said in a statement on Tuesday that looking ahead, the firm plans to expand further across Indonesia, with Surabaya and Makassar set to join the network soon.

This eastward growth beyond Java’s core highlights the company’s ability to operate at scale across diverse urban environments, reinforcing its role as a key player in greening Indonesia’s transportation sector.

Bekasi thus marks not only the latest milestone but also a gateway for Green SM’s broader mission to accelerate sustainable mobility in rapidly growing cities nationwide, the firm said.

According to the statement, residents and visitors can now experience the journeys in Green SM’s signature cyan taxis, with exclusive launch offers of up to IDR 150,000 ($9.13) for new users.

The debut in Bekasi features a fleet of VinFast all-electric taxis, which can be booked through the Green SM app.

Green SM’s expansion to Bekasi follows its successful debut in Jakarta, where it quickly gained strong public support and became a symbol of green urban mobility, said the statement.

By expanding into Bekasi, the company enhances the city’s transportation network through direct connections to TransJakarta, LRT Jabodebek, and Commuter Line stations, making it easier for commuters to access first- and last-mile options.

This is especially significant in Bekasi, known as Indonesia’s “city of workers” and an important industrial center where hundreds of thousands of trips are made daily to Jakarta for work and school.

Green SM’s dependable all-electric taxi network is expected to reduce dependence on private motorbikes and cars, ease congestion, lower emissions, and improve local air quality, while offering affordable and safe transportation choices for families and workers, the statement noted.

he expansion also represents a major milestone in Green SM’s Jabodetabek growth plan.

By promoting clean energy transportation in one of Indonesia’s busiest metropolitan areas, the company supports national carbon reduction goals and contributes to Bekasi’s smart city vision.

This initiative is not only about launching a new service but also about building a long-term ecosystem where technology, mobility, and community needs move forward together toward sustainable growth, the statement said.

“Our expansion into Bekasi is more than just launching a new service; it reflects a deeper commitment to the people and rhythm of the city,

“Bekasi is a place full of energy and resilience, where industry, families, and commuters influence daily life,” said Deny Tjia, Managing Director of Green SM Indonesia.

“We see Green SM as a partner to that vibrant community, providing clean and modern transportation that seamlessly fits into busy routines while supporting Indonesia’s climate goals,

“This launch demonstrates how the public and private sectors can collaborate to advance smart city development through practical, low-carbon solutions,” he added.
