    [SINGAPORE] Industry observers predict new highs for commercial vehicle Certificate of Entitlement (COE) premiums this year.

    Strong demand for mainstream cars, meanwhile, is expected to keep premiums for that segment high.

    Ryan Woon, CEO of EcoSwift, the agent for China commercial vehicle brand Sany in Singapore, believes Category C premiums “will hit S$100,000 for sure”.
