LTA to end new diesel vehicle registrations by 2025

Diesel cars registered before 2025 will face higher road taxes.

Starting 1 January 2025, the Land Transport Authority (LTA) will stop registering new diesel cars and taxis in line with Singapore's plan for all vehicles to use cleaner energy by 2040.

Diesel cars registered before 1 January 2025 can renew their Certificate of Entitlement but will face higher road taxes to discourage renewal.

The Ministry of Transport announced the plan to phase out pollutive vehicles three years ago at the Committee of Supply 2021.

Since 2021, registrations of new diesel cars and taxis have remained below 1% as cleaner energy alternatives have become more prevalent.

The LTA said these restrictions will not apply to the import and registration of cars under the Classic Vehicle Scheme and Vintage Vehicle Scheme.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
