作为雄心勃勃的新加坡绿色计划 2030 的一部分,陆路交通管理局 (LTA) 宣布,从 2025 年 1 月 1 日起,将停止新注册柴油汽车和出租车。此举符合新加坡到 2040 年让所有车辆都使用更清洁能源的愿景。
该决定最初由交通部于2021 年宣布,旨在大幅减少该国对柴油车辆的依赖。随着更清洁的能源替代品的出现,自 2021 年以来,新柴油车和出租车注册的比例已降至 1% 以下。这项政策是实现可持续和环保的交通系统的关键一步。
虽然新柴油车登记将被禁止,但在截止日期前登记的现有柴油车可以续签其授权证书 (COE)。然而,这些续签将产生更高的道路税,这是一种不利因素。值得注意的是,根据经典车辆计划和老式车辆计划登记的车辆将不受这些新限制的约束。
目前,新加坡道路上有超过 17,000 辆柴油乘用车。然而,柴油车的数量预计将迅速下降,许多经销商已经停止进口新的柴油。到 2024 年 5 月底,纯柴油车仅占道路上所有私家车的 2.7%。
新加坡的宏伟愿景包括到2030 年安装 60,000 个电动汽车 (EV) 充电站,并鼓励人们转向公共交通。目标是到 2030 年,75% 的高峰时段出行将通过公共交通进行,到 2040 年这一比例将上升到 80% 以上。
Singapore to end new diesel car registrations from 2025
As part of its ambitious Singapore Green Plan 2030, the Land Transport Authority (LTA) announced that starting January 1, 2025, new registrations for diesel cars and taxis will cease. This move aligns with the nation’s vision to have all vehicles running on cleaner energy by 2040.
The decision, initially announced by the Ministry of Transport in 2021, aims to significantly reduce the country’s reliance on diesel vehicles. With cleaner energy alternatives now readily available, the proportion of new diesel car and taxi registrations has dropped below one percent since 2021. This policy is a critical step towards achieving a sustainable and eco-friendly transport system.
While new diesel vehicle registrations will be banned, existing diesel cars registered before the deadline can renew their Certificate of Entitlement (COE). However, these renewals will incur higher road taxes as a disincentive. Notably, vehicles registered under the Classic Vehicle Scheme and Vintage Vehicle Scheme will be exempt from these new restrictions.
Currently, more than 17,000 diesel passenger cars are on Singapore’s roads. However, the number of diesel vehicles is expected to decline rapidly, with many dealers already halting new diesel imports. By the end of May 2024, pure diesel vehicles constituted just 2.7% of all private cars on the road.
Singapore’s broader vision includes installing 60,000 electric vehicle (EV) charging stations by 2030 and encouraging a shift to public transport. The goal is for 75% of peak hour trips to be on public transport by 2030, increasing to more than 80% by 2040.
