Written Reply to Parliamentary Question

Mr Dennis Tan Lip Fong asked the Acting Minister for Transport for an update on the Heavy Vehicle Zero Emissions Scheme launched in January 2026, including the timeline for public trials of hydrogen-powered heavy vehicles and the development of the necessary refueling infrastructure to support them.

Reply by Acting Minister for Transport Jeffrey Siow:

1.           As of end-February 2026, two months since the launch on 1 January, 119 electric heavy vehicles have been registered under the Heavy Vehicle Zero Emissions Scheme.

2.           Electrification remains the most commercially and technologically viable decarbonisation pathway for the land transport sector. We will continue to monitor technological developments and study the feasibility of adopting hydrogen and other cleaner energy technologies.
