Ms He Ting Ru asked the Minister for Transport as part of the study on a separate Certificate of Entitlement (COE) category for private-hire cars, whether the Ministry will consider splitting the new private-hire vehicle COE category into electric vehicles (EVs) and non-electric vehicles, with higher allocation for EVs in order to accelerate electrification among high-mileage vehicles.
Reply by Minister for Transport Chee Hong Tat:
1. A similar question was filed by Ms Nadia Samdin in September 2022, and the Ministry of Transport had provided a reply to Ms Nadia’s question. The Member may want to refer to the Hansard for the reply.
