How a vehicle emissions regulation has backfired in Singapore: TransportBT

Electric vehicles have come a long way since they first burst onto the scene a decade ago.

These days, we’re also seeing not just cars, but also electric vans, lorries, even garbage trucks hitting the roads.

But Singapore’s electrification journey is hitting some surprising speed bumps.

In this episode of TransportBT, host Derryn Wong sits down with Edward Tan, executive director of the Hong Seh Group, to uncover the loopholes in Singapore’s EV policies, and how they might have unintentionally hurt the movement.

Highlights:

03:52 Impact of Commercial Vehicle Emission Scheme (CVES)

06:15 Loopholes in the CVES policy

09:39 Falling commercial electrification rates

11:30 How technology is outpacing policy

14:41 Future of electric vehicles in Singapore
