Apollo 1st Gear July 3, 2008 Share July 3, 2008 July 3, 2008 CNG labelling: Just whose rule is it? I CONVERTED my saloon car to a compressed natural gas (CNG)-run vehicle recently. Upon receiving my vehicle, I found two poorly designed green CNG labels pasted on the front and rear bumpers and was told by the workshop that they are a Land Transport Authority (LTA) requirement. The workshop staff also cautioned me that drivers of CNG vehicles without the labels could be fined. However, lately I realised that white CNG Mercedes taxis do not bear such labels. I called LTA to inquire and was told that it does not have a regulation on CNG labelling. LTA said it was a Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) requirement for fire-fighting purposes. Upon further clarification with the SCDF, I was told it, too, does not have such a regulation. The officer suggested it was Spring Singapore that requested the CNG labelling. I hope the relevant authorities can confirm if there is such a regulation. I would also like to inquire if there is a better way of indicating a CNG vehicle, such as number-plates of a different colour or a properly-designed decal.

Watwheels Supersonic July 3, 2008 Share July 3, 2008 (edited) CNG Merc cab have their own unique factory fitted label on the boot. Same as those on CNG Merc passenger cars. Mr. Tang must fancy those Mugen TypeR stickers a lot. How can one be bothered by such a sticker? Or he scared kenna recognised as a cheapo/desperate CNG user?

Qpik Supercharged July 3, 2008 Share July 3, 2008 though my lao pok is not cng nevertheless i don't deem cng user as cheapo/desperate. in fact, they wld hv considered carefully before doing it. so why let such stickers bother them? in fact, they shd welcome it for safety issues.

Altivo 3rd Gear July 3, 2008 Share July 3, 2008 personally, i find the sticker is quite fugly. Hahaha... i've seen those private CNG merc and it doesn't have stickers too. Instead, there is a NGT chrome letters stuck to it's boot. So i guess it's alright not to have the sticker as long as you have some form of identication on your car.
