Small CAR COE premium plunges to $25,000

This represents its weakest showing in eight years.

The certificate of entitlement (COE) for cars up to 1600 cc and 130 bhp fell to an eight year low from $34,110 to $25,000 in its latest tender this July amidst fewer bidders following the new vehicle emission scheme (VES) from the Land Transport Authority (LTA).

Cars above 1600 cc or 130 bhp also fell from $33,900 to $31,000 amidst fewer bidders,

Open COE, which can be used for any vehicle type except motorcycles also fell from $34,400 to , $31,001.

Similarly, goods vehicles and buses COE dropped from $32,001 to $31,092, down. Motorcycle premiums also eased from $6,889 to $6,514.

The new VES replace the current Carbon Emissions-Based Vehicle Scheme (CEVS) of the LTA. Compared to CEVS, the VES will be stricter as it adds additional pollutants including hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, and particulate matter.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
