Green SM Expands Green Footprint in Indonesia: Surabaya Electric Ride-Hailing Service Officially Launched

Published at Oct 17, 2025 09:57 am
(Surabaya, 17th) Indonesia’s “City of Heroes,” Surabaya, welcomes a brand new green mobility experience — the country’s first premium all-electric ride-hailing service, Green SM, has officially launched, offering citizens and visitors a quieter, safer, and more affordable travel choice. To celebrate the launch, Green SM is offering a discount of up to 50,000 Indonesian Rupiah per ride, allowing passengers to enjoy a comfortable journey while also contributing to a bluer sky in Surabaya.

The launch was attended in person by Mr. Agus Imam Sonhaji, S.T., M.M.T., Expert Staff to the Mayor for Development, Economy, and Finance, representing the Mayor of Surabaya; Mr. Trio Wahyu Bowo, A.Md. LLAJ, S.E., M.M., Acting Head of the Surabaya Transportation Agency; Police Commissioner Ms. Endang Srie Narullita; Mr. Agus Hebi Djuniantoro, S.T., M.T., Head of the Surabaya Office of Industry and Manpower; Mr. H. M. Ali Affandi La Nyalla Mahmud Mattalitti, Chairman of the Surabaya Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KADIN); Lt. Col. (Inf.) Ifan Alfa, Kasiter Korem 084/BJ; as well as officials from various municipal departments and agencies, along with members of the local business community.

A New Milestone in Green Mobility for Surabaya
As the economic and trade engine of East Java, Surabaya currently has more than 3.8 million registered vehicles, most of which are motorcycles and private cars. Traffic congestion and air pollution are increasingly severe issues. The launch of the all-electric Green SM fleet not only enhances the city's travel quality but also injects new momentum into Surabaya’s “Smart City” vision and the nation’s carbon reduction commitments.

Passengers can easily book rides via the Green SM mobile app and enjoy chauffeur-driven electric vehicle service. The quiet and smooth ride, transparent fare structure, and comfortable cabin design make Green SM a brand-new choice for Surabaya residents seeking high-quality and eco-friendly transportation.

Green Success Experience From Jakarta
Green SM was first introduced in Jakarta in December 2024 with its signature green VinFast EV fleet, quickly gaining public favor. The noise-free journey experience, friendly drivers, and clear fare standards allowed people to truly appreciate the advantages of eco-friendly transport.

After Jakarta, Green SM entered Makassar and Bekasi earlier this October and officially landed in Surabaya this month, demonstrating its strong adaptability to diverse urban environments. From coastal tourist cities to industrial commuting corridors, Green SM is accelerating its national rollout, leading Indonesia from a “green mobility” concept to “nationwide practice.”

Managing Director: Surabaya Is the Ideal Model City
Green SM Indonesia Managing Director Deny Tjia said: “Expanding into Surabaya is not just about adding another city; it also reflects our deepening understanding of the dynamics of Indonesia’s major cities. In just one month, we have completed deployments in Makassar, Bekasi, and Surabaya, demonstrating the strong demand for premium green mobility in the Indonesian market and our capability for rapid expansion.”

He emphasized that Surabaya, as East Java’s commercial core and international gateway, is the best stage to showcase the feasibility of electric taxis and set new standards for sustainable transportation.

All drivers undergo professional training in safety, service, and eco-driving, ensuring passengers enjoy a premium, comfortable, and secure journey.

Every Ride for a Cleaner Future
Whether it’s families returning from the airport, commuters rushing to work, or seniors and travelers with luggage, Green SM provides a fume-free, emissions-free, quiet, and smooth ride, making every journey healthier, safer, and easier.

With Surabaya now officially part of its operational network, Green SM reaffirms its long-term mission — to make sustainable mobility accessible to all and help Indonesia move toward a cleaner, smarter, and more connected future.
In this City of Heroes, every journey marks a new step toward blue skies and green landscapes.
