Will u buy Diesel or Petrol Cars in SG

[therock]

I don't think Uber is privy to any information released by the govt. Govt won't anyhow release such information one, unless there was a opinion gathering discussion on upcoming policy changes done by the govt which all transport providers would be privy to.

 

Probably Uber and CDG are just spreading their bets. 

+1, probably astute planning by Uber / Grab..

After all they need to plan ahead. Right now they are bleeding a lot of money and need to make some money soon..

I hope the investors money pay off.

Uber burns about $2 US billion per year so far since it started.

What make me look hard at the Diesel Car is when one day I was driving and in front of me is a new Renault Flower Taxi.  It is the exhaust pipe.

 

I can see all the way when my headlight shone on it.  It is metallic and shining lor.

 

After awhile, the shine still there leh.  No soot, no blacken tar lor.  It is that "clean" lor .....

Yet another comment in the voices section of the Today paper. "Diesel incentives for passenger cars must go". As predicted the end seems near. Prepared to get screwed by special tax. Yet another CNG saga.

CDG has ties to garment. They will definitely have some inside news from garment.

[Kangadrool]

Yes, choose one with the highest fuel tax, can't go wrong.

Aiyoh - all diesel private car buyer at risk.

 

more to come / implement from the government .

 

I just about to look into this type of car - now better twice/thrice - back off.

I thought electric cars already kenna slaughtered!

Remember the guy that bought a Tesla?

He got whacked by the significantly high taxation

[Mkl22]

That's why buy mainstream. I'll bet that even if Toyota Corolla comes with an engine that on paper produces 132-135hp. After LTA testing it will be classified as catA.

Hahaha

Hahaha ð

Like I said earlier ... NOx, PM and PAH will bury diesel engines to the ground, as humankind marches forward to save Gaia ðð¼

For refrigerants, we have moved away from CFC (ozone impact), to HFC (global warming impact), and now toward HCFC ðð¼

Aircond conversion costs to be incurred by all households will be significant, once the current setup kaput.

I don't think your agenda towards Diesel Cars is as noble as you make it out to be ... Save Gaia?

When the entire world moves toward electric cars, Singapore can really go car-lite.

Going all electric has always been the direction of the compass. It is just that before we reached there we needed interim solutions.

We believe it would be a positive step towards cleaner city air to remove the current “green” incentives for diesel passenger vehicles in the short run.

 

In the longer term, the search for commercial transport that minimises pollution is needed.

 

 

There you have it. The policy think tank has spoken. It would be plain foolish for anybody to buy a diesel car from now on.

Agree fully with the LTA.

Awarding CEV credits to more-pollutive diesel engines is an oxy-moron!

Think of all the billions gahmen stand to lose collecting petrol tax.

Unless it can be replaced by electricity tax, it's not going to happen.
