As we are all aware, the new Vehicle Emissions Scheme(VES) implemented at the beginning of this year include 4 additional pollutants – hydrocarbons (HC), carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen oxides (NOx), and particulate matter (PM) – in addition to carbon dioxide (CO2). A VES rebate or surcharge is imposed on new vehicle based on the worst-performing pollutant.

To give motor dealers more time to submit PM emission information for assessment under VES, LTA has exempted PM criteria for all vehicles registered from 1 January to 30 June 2018.

If you are thinking of buying a new car, it is advisable to do so before 1 July 2018. This is because PM emissions will no longer be exempted with effect from 1 July 2018 and we expect that many petrol cars will get additional surcharge between $10,000 to $30,000. With the exemption of PM emission, cars such as Honda Fit, Shuttle and Vezel each has a rebate of $10,000. Starting from 1 July when PM emission kicks in, there will be a surcharge of $20,000 for all the above-mentioned cars. To be exact, you will be paying $30,000 more if you buy the car after 1 July. Moreover, COE prices are currently at a low which is why we strongly encourage you to take action now.
