As fuel prices continue to fluctuate globally, everyday mobility is becoming more expensive for many Filipinos. In response, Vingroup is rolling out a timely and practical solution designed to ease the burden on motorists while promoting a more sustainable lifestyle.
The upcoming “Trade Gas for Electric” program will be introduced across key markets including Vietnam, India, Indonesia, and the Philippines. The initiative encourages drivers to make the switch from traditional gasoline-powered vehicles to electric mobility by offering additional incentives on VinFast electric cars and scooters.
Under the program, customers who trade in their gasoline vehicles for new VinFast electric models can enjoy added savings, an extra 3% discount on electric cars and 5% on electric scooters, on top of existing market-specific promotions. For many urban commuters, this presents an opportunity to rethink daily transport not just as a necessity, but as a smarter lifestyle choice.
Beyond vehicle ownership, Vingroup’s broader green ecosystem is also stepping in to provide more accessible mobility options. GSM Green and Smart Mobility Joint Stock Company is introducing a 10% fare reduction for electric ride services via the Xanh SM platform in Vietnam and Green SM in Indonesia, available from March 11 to March 31, 2026, depending on the market. These initiatives aim to make eco-friendly transport more affordable and appealing during a time of fuel price uncertainty.
For Filipinos juggling rising daily expenses, programs like this offer more than just savings, they represent a shift toward a more sustainable and future-ready way of living.
Ms. Duong Thi Thu Trang, Deputy CEO of Global Sales at VinFast, emphasized the importance of the initiative: “The ‘Trade Gas for Electric’ program reflects our commitment to responding to global challenges that directly impact people’s daily lives. Through this initiative, we aim to help reduce reliance on gasoline, lower transportation costs, and contribute to a cleaner environment through smart mobility solutions.”
The program will run alongside existing incentives in each market, creating a layered benefit system that makes the transition to electric vehicles more accessible. With the potential for extension depending on fuel price trends, Vingroup continues to reinforce its role in shaping a greener, more cost-efficient future for mobility.
