Green SM officially launches in Palembang, strengthening SUMATRA’s green mobility ecosystem

Palembang, Indonesia – Green SM has officially launched its electric taxi service in the city, becoming the second Sumatran location after Bandar Lampung to offer the green transportation option. The expansion underscores Green SM's commitment to providing environmentally-friendly transportation across Indonesia, with a focus on improving air quality and promoting cleaner urban environments.

As part of its official launch, Green SM has introduced a "Green Your Move, Refresh Your City" campaign, which aligns with the Ministry of Environment and Environmental Control Agency's theme of "Ecosystem & Air Protection". The campaign aims to encourage citizens to adopt more sustainable transportation habits, emphasizing the benefits of green journeys for public health and the environment.

Green SM's electric vehicle fleet, powered entirely by electricity, is expected to enhance the company's 5-star mobility experience, characterized by professional drivers, transparent pricing, and consistent service quality. This move further solidifies Green SM's role in Indonesia's growing green mobility ecosystem, following its successful rollouts in Jakarta, Makassar, Surabaya, Bali, and Bandar Lampung.

With a population of over 1.8 million, Palembang is a major trade and service hub, experiencing significant economic growth and a rising demand for efficient transportation. The city's dedication to sustainable development and smart city projects creates an ideal environment for Green SM to introduce its modern, eco-friendly mobility solutions.

Mr. Pham Nhat Minh Hoang, Green SM's Global CEO, expressed enthusiasm about the launch, highlighting the company's dedication to serving Palembang's residents while contributing to ecosystem preservation and combating climate change. To celebrate the launch, Green SM is offering a series of promotions, including discounts ranging from 35% to 100% off rides throughout September 2026.

These offers aim to make green transportation more accessible and affordable for Palembang's residents. Additionally, Green SM is committed to fostering a sustainable green mobility ecosystem through job creation, local talent development, and partnerships with key stakeholders. As the company expands its services across Indonesia, it envisions improving access to cutting-edge transportation while generating positive impacts for communities, the environment, and local economies.

Since its inception, Green SM has facilitated over 850 million trips, covering nearly 6 billion kilometers and reducing more than 800,000 tons of CO₂ emissions – equivalent to the annual carbon absorption of about 36 million trees.
