On track for cleaner-energy transport
We refer to Ms Ng Cheng Hoon’s letter “Speed up conversion to electric public transport” (March 19). The electrification of our public bus and taxi fleet is a key part of the Government’s efforts to significantly reduce land transport emissions and support Singapore’s net-zero ambitions. The MRT, which runs on electricity, is the most carbon-efficient way of travelling, and our rail expansion efforts continue to make travel by MRT more convenient for more commuters. For more details, please refer to the attached reply.

Strengthening Singapore’s Electric Vehicle Ecosystem to Reduce Land Transport Emissions
The Land Transport Authority (LTA) is pressing on with our vehicle electrification efforts. To support decarbonisation of heavy vehicles, LTA will introduce the Heavy Vehicle Zero Emissions Scheme (HVZES) and Electric Heavy Vehicle Charger Grant (EHVCG). These initiatives aim to narrow the gap in ownership cost between an electric heavy vehicle (eHV) and an ICE heavy vehicle, and to support the deployment of eHV chargers in Singapore. In addition, LTA will extend and expand the EV Common Charger Grant (ECCG) to further encourage charger deployment at non-landed private residences (NLPRs), such as condominiums, and keep pace with EV adoption. For more details, please refer to the attached news release.
