2018 – 2019 is considered the most exciting period of the car ride market in Vietnam.

On December 13, 2018, the "be" ride-hailing app was officially launched in Vietnam. At that time, Mr. Tran Thanh Hai, CEO be announced that this application is registered for transportation business. The CEO also wants to have 6.6 million downloads and 105 million trips after a year.

be is the latest postpartum birth application in Vietnam market but at that time it was also the business with the most "potential".

After exactly 1 year of launching, we also aim to develop a potential digital ecosystem and provide many services, of which the main services are beBike (2-wheel booking service), beCar (4-wheel vehicle booking service). ), beFinancial (service providing effective financial solutions for individual customers, drivers and businesses), beExpress (postal delivery service), beDelivery (delivery service).

So far, the ride-hailing app has been available in 9 provinces and cities including Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, Binh Duong, Dong Nai, Vung Tau, Can Tho, Da Nang, Nha Trang and Hai Phong. The beige ride app has been downloaded to 5.5 million mobile devices with 60,000 drivers, approximately 350,000 rides are required daily and has completed about 36 million beBike and beCar rides since official start. deploying the service from December 2018 to now.

But the road to developing a super application is clearly facing difficulties and hidden dangers when the race in the fierce ride-hailing market. Be recently announced to focus resources to consolidate in the transportation segment, not only to protect the existing market share and boost growth in 2020 instead of spreading investment into different segments such as delivery. eat. Be also wants to shorten the distance with rival Grab, currently holds 70% market share of ride-hailing.

GoViet

GoViet entered the Vietnamese market on 12/9 with a solid foundation when backed by the Southeast Asian unicorn Gojek.

After more than a year, GoViet declared itself a leader in food delivery with 70,000 restaurants and more than 1 million dishes on the GoViet app. Each day GoFood alone receives hundreds of thousands of orders, growing 25-35% per month. The app says it has also completed 100 million trips in both cities, with a growth of more than 400% of orders. The platform is generating stable income for more than 125 thousand driver partners. This number is controversial but it is clear that up to now, Goviet is still considered Grab's strongest competitor.

However, this application has encountered many difficulties in the fight to become a "super application" against Grab. Goviet cannot deploy many services such as cars or financial services. Goviet, meanwhile, has only ranked third in the ride-hailing market, due to its GoBike only two-wheeler service.

GoViet's senior leadership positions constantly changing are also issues of GoViet recently.

At this time, Vato said it had about 8,000 drivers registered to ride the ride-hailing service after the Uber app was about to stop operating in Southeast Asia. VATO currently has a total of about 9,000 drivers. However, so far, after more than a year, Vato has not had any significant activity and is almost never mentioned by users.

Aber's app launched in June 2018 with the driver's new discount point, launching six products and services such as motorcycles, cars, delivery, and business cars … But only after a few month, this application must notify the shutdown and so far remains very faint.
