Watwheels Supersonic July 16, 2014 Share July 16, 2014 (edited) For those who do not know, those commercial vehicles registered before 2001 can buy new truck w/o paying COE to encourage more efficient vehicles. http://www.sgcarmart.com/news/article.php?AID=7857 Quote In Parliament last month, Vivian Balakrishnan, Minister for the Environment and Water Resources, acknowledged existing fleet of old diesel vehicles commuting on the roads are a major source of pollution. He revealed there are about 38,000 old diesel commercial vehicles with pre-Euro or Euro 1 emissions standards bought before 2001.As such, a new Early Turnover Scheme which runs until the 23rd of April 2015 has been announced to encourage owners with commercial vehicles to switch to newer, environmentally friendly models that meet the Euro 5 diesel standards. Under the newly announced scheme, owners who bought diesel vehicles before January 2001 can deregister their diesel vehicles and register a replacement commercial vehicle at a discounted fee.They do not have to bid for a Certificate of Entitlement (COE) for a commercial vehicle and can transfer the unused period of COE from their existing vehicle to the replacement, one on top of receiving a bonus COE period for their replacement vehicle.The bonus COE is derived from a percentage of the remainder of the existing vehicle's 20-year lifespan when it is deregistered: 10 percent if a vehicle's maximum weight is 3,500kg or less and 30 percent if its weight limit exceeds 3,500kg. The transferred COE and bonus COE periods will be capped at 10 years. Owners will also pay a discounted prevailing quota premium (PQP) - a three-month moving average of the cost of COEs Unquote That's why now they cut back on Cat C quota. Since there's no need for them to bid for a COE no point releasing so many for this category. That in turn more quota can be alocated more for Cat A.

Watwheels Supersonic July 17, 2014 Share July 17, 2014 misleading, right? it's more like gov is subsiding exempting COE to encourage upgrading. I hate it when this word is used.

That in turn more quota can be alocated more for Cat A. no la, LTA dun reduce the Cat C suka suka 1 la n it has nothing to do with Cat A. u didnt sound like knowing how to compute the new COE quota to release. it is mainly depends on the number of dereg of the same Cat. pls read the Annex A of the LTA's annoucement here: http://app.lta.gov.sg/apps/news/page.aspx?c=2&id=9c83338e-5e9b-4815-a9ea-6db89399add9 I hate it when this word is used. And you ppl are brainwashed to use it. It's like "helping" ppl which IMO is not. no, it is not exempting. yes, no need to bid new COE. but still hv to pay "part" of the COE. not free, not "exempting". 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kb27 Supersonic July 17, 2014 Share July 17, 2014 Why shrink commercial vehicle COE??? Such move would indirectly inflate cost of living in the already most expensive city to live in the world. Commercial vehicles shouldn't be involve in COE nonsense in the 1st place. Motorcycles doesn't contribute to traffic jam COE quota 'boh tai boh ji' also kena cut! This country...... I really don't know what to say!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Trucks that distribute food and groceries to the supermarts will increase their delivery price. Supermarts in turn will increase their price. Every consumer will enjoy a price increase. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

yo2020 6th Gear July 17, 2014 Share July 17, 2014 How to predict anything. The net increase is just 204, over 6 bidding, each only 34 more. the argument is that cannot look at overall COE quota for all cars. it would b more practical to look at Cat A quota only, and quota of Cat B + Open Cat. bcoz a buyer will buy either Cat A car or Cat B car (unless a buyer cannot make up own mind). frm this view, Cat A does hv 13% more quota or 65 more per bidding exercise. so, i reckon Cat A premium may drop further. n Cat B + Open Cat hv 32 less quota per bidding exercise. so, Cat B premium may maintain or drop a little as demand seems weak.
