Penalties for pollutive light commercial vehicles push buyers to switch to heavier vehicles instead
Heavier vehicles are not subject to the Commercial Vehicle Emissions Scheme

AFTER penalties were introduced for pollutive light commercial vehicles, Singapore’s population of heavy goods vehicles (HGVs) has risen – as these are not subject to the scheme.
The Commercial Vehicle Emissions Scheme (CVES) was introduced in April 2021 to encourage the adoption of less polluting light goods vehicles (LGVs), with incentives for these and surcharges for more polluting ones.
But this has prompted some companies to switch to heavier vehicles, which do not fall under the scheme – including former LGVs that have been reintroduced as HGVs.
