Content overview: “VinFast's Green SM Launches 500-EV Ride-Hailing Fleet in Los Angeles”. Green SM, the ride-hailing arm of Vietnamese automaker VinFast, has officially launched operations in Los Angeles with a fleet of 500 VinFast VF8 electric SUVs. The service aims to provide a zero-emission alternative to traditional ride-hailing options in one of America's most car-centric cities. This marks Green SM's first entry into the U.S. market, following its rapid expansion across Vietnam and other parts of Southeast Asia.
The VF8 is a mid-size electric crossover with an estimated range of around 264 miles, designed to compete with offerings from Tesla and other EV makers. By deploying its own vehicles rather than relying on driver-owned cars, Green SM can ensure consistent quality and full control over the customer experience. The launch also signals VinFast's broader ambition to establish a foothold in the competitive U.S. This listing links straight to the original page, where the content is available in full.
