The ride-hailing driver pockets 600,000 VND per day with Minio Green.
With its compact size and cost-effectiveness, the Vin Fast Minio Green is opening up income-generating opportunities for many service drivers. At the same time, this model also effectively meets the short-distance travel needs of urban passengers.
Ideal size and operation for urban
In Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City, narrow roads and high traffic density mean that drivers of urban ride-hailing services always need a compact, flexible, and cost-effective vehicle. With a length of 3 meters and a width of nearly 1.5 meters, the Minio Green perfectly meets that need. This is also the reason why Mr. Nguyen Hoang (Cau Giay ward) chose this model for his passenger transport service.
"Stepping into the car, I was surprised by how spacious it was despite its 'mini' exterior size. I'm 1.70m tall, but I still felt comfortable and at ease," Mr. Hoang shared.
Despite being a two-door vehicle, the Minio Green is convenient for picking up and dropping off passengers. According to Mr. Hoang, the driver can push the front seat forward to make it easier for passengers in the back to get in and out, thereby shortening stopping time.
"The Minio Green's maneuverability in narrow streets is excellent. For example, if I accidentally go past the passenger's location, I can turn around on the spot without having to look for another route. This is not only convenient for the driver but also helps passengers avoid waiting too long," Mr. Hoang shared.
Despite its somewhat small size, the Minio Green still demonstrates performance beyond expectations thanks to its maximum power of 30kW, enough to keep the vehicle from lagging when carrying heavy loads, while easily accelerating from a standstill and maintaining stability in various traffic situations.
"Even when carrying four passengers or bulky luggage, the driving experience remains very exhilarating," Hoàng explained.
Satisfied customers, increased income for drivers.
Not only is it optimized for performance, the Minio Green also effectively meets the needs of passengers traveling short distances within the city, especially during the hot early summer weather. Mr. Nguyen Lam Ho (Hanoi) said that the Minio Green he operates is highly appreciated by customers for its significantly greater comfort and convenience, while the fare is only slightly higher than other motorbike ride-hailing services.
"Since using Minio Green to transport passengers, I've received a lot of positive feedback. Most customers say that for short distances of about 4-5km, they always prefer Minio Green because of its affordable price and its ability to provide shelter from the sun and rain," Mr. Ho said.
Mr. Ho added that, with a plentiful number of rides each day, he maintains a steady income that exceeds his initial expectations.
"Because it's a new car, I'm guaranteed a daily revenue of 600,000 VND. I still do 13-14 trips a day, so my income is even higher," Mr. Ho commented.
Not only does Minio Green help increase revenue, but it also helps drivers reduce operating costs thanks to a policy of 20 free charging sessions per month at V-Green charging stations until February 10, 2029. Drivers operating on the SM Platform receive unlimited free charging sessions.
Besides low operating costs, the initial investment for Minio Green is also affordable for many drivers. According to Mr. Ho, with a series of great incentives such as the "Intense for a Green Future" program, customers can choose a direct 6% discount on the vehicle price or pay in installments with an interest rate of 7% for the first 3 years. In addition, customers can also borrow through finance companies and receive a 12-month grace period on principal repayment.
Operating flexibly in narrow streets, effectively meeting the needs of short-distance passenger transport and helping drivers optimize operating costs, Minio Green is clearly a suitable business solution for drivers and convenient for passengers in large cities.
