Written Reply to Parliamentary Question on Type and Fleet Size of Car-Sharing Operators in Last Five Years

Mr Chua Kheng Wee Louis asked the Minister for Transport 

a.     what is the fleet size of car-sharing operators at present; and 

b.     in each of the last five years, what is the breakdown of the fleet of electric vehicles and internal combustion engine vehicles among the car-sharing operators.

Reply by Minister for Transport S Iswaran:

1.     Based on the top few car-sharing companies, there are about 4,600 shared cars, 800 of which are electric vehicles. We do not have a historical breakdown of the mix of electric and internal combustion engine vehicles as the operators are not required to submit such information, but they have expressed interest in further electrification of their fleets.

2.     Car-sharing provides commuters with more choices, such as those who may require occasional use of a self-driven car. We will actively monitor developments in the industry and review how we can work with car-sharing operators to broaden transport choices for all commuters.
