VES 2018

[Kopites]

I think this new Vehicular Emissions Scheme (VES) is out to collect more money from car buyers.

 

Even the Toyota Prius is not spared: it shall moved to a neutral band under the new scheme.

 

Just look at the measures that the Government has implemented for the past few months:

 

1. Increase in parking coupons;

2. Increase in PAP's Town Councils' S&CC;

3. Increase in water charges (30%);

4. New Carbon Tax;

5. Re-banding of VES.

 

All were given in the name of either long-time haven't increased, water is a strategic resource, more environmentally friendly.

 

The Government is racking its brains out, as the 2017's Budget is expected to have a basis deficit of $5.6 billion; they expect to plug this gap through the Net Investment Return (NIR) incomes from Temasek and GIC.

 

So, I would suggest that you spare yourselves doing all the analysis and spreadsheets on which car has the lowest carbon footprint and the lowest VES surcharge or highest rebate, the Government has already covered all the angles.

 

The only carbon "neutral" transport now is Bus No. 11.

You want me to add on since Feb?

 

0.1cent per litre increase in diesel. Minial or outrageous? This mean 18000ltr per truck load I am paying 1800 dollar for tax. Petrochemical company call it duty! 0.1cent is tax on tax! Your should know what I mean.

Increase water rate by 30% and than come out and declare coffee won't increase!

 

I feel so retarded. Make me feel like I am IMH in house patient.

economy bad.. no income.. the fastest and safest way is suck from us.. Such move will never be wrong.. it is like children no money so take from who? parents la even parent no money, they will still give, they will suffer not the pampered kid.

Some of the more popular models Qashqai 1.2 will incur a surcharge of 20k according to Chris Tan.

 

Am I am seeing right?

Should be +25k.

+20K based on new scheme and loss of the -5k.

cannot, u need to eat to have energy to do ur bus 11

 

when u walk u emit farts

 

next time u bus 11 and fart u get taxed

[TangoElite]

WOW Toyota Prius Hybrid is now Neutral only

 

Feel sad for QQ

[grandis123]

A bit confused. Any difference for Honda Odyssey and Nissan Elgrand? or even Alphard?

[Sdf4786k]

looks correct according to LTA website

So for those that are not listed, can refer to the chart.

A more holistic emissions scheme

[Friendstar]

This also means that qq can fetch higher prices for resale?

[Nonewposts]

Mazda 3. Qq

Immediately sales plummet.

 

Imagine price increase by 20k over night?

 

Ultimate winner?

 

Toyota altis. Huat Ah!

But definitely translate to higher car price

 

But on a positive note. Can we all pay tribute to Toyota?

 

Their altis really lives up to its name.

Even such drastic changes altis has no difference.

 

Silent hero

i thought the mazda should be cleaner since it is using a newer engine technology(skyactive). toyota old technology rules here

This also means that qq can fetch higher prices for resale?

ppl will just lose interest in qq. Is vezel affected?

The Vezel / HRV goes up by 5k.

Maybe there's a payback for the high compression ratio of the Mazda, which gives their high FC..

 

Corolla is just a solid mule of an engine that keeps going. That's why they may refuse to innovate.. no incentive to change.

Suddenly 2016 Corollas will be cleared off the shelf with no issues

Actual chart here:

 

 

2.  In addition to the carbon dioxide (CO₂) criterion in the existing CEVS, the VES will cover 4 other pollutants - hydrocarbons (HC), carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen oxides (NO_x) and particulate matter (PM).

 

 

 

4.  The VES rebate^[1] or surcharge for a car or taxi will be determined by its worst-performing pollutant. This is to encourage buyers to choose models that have lower emissions across all criteria and are cleaner overall, so as to further improve ambient air quality and thereby improve public health^[2] (refer to Annex A for Singapore’s air quality targets).


6.  To account for the CO₂ emissions produced by electricity generation from fossil fuels, an emission factor will be applied to the electricity consumption of electric vehicles (EVs) and plug-in hybrid vehicles (PHEVs) as measured under the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) Regulation No.101 test procedures.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Honda Odyssey from neutral to at least +10k

Really is consecutive punching

Gas water electricity parking

Now is chut one punch only ah

You see the picture, still got one more hand not use yet

[Doppel]

cannot, u need to eat to have energy to do ur bus 11

 

when u walk u emit farts

 

next time u bus 11 and fart u get taxed

 

I beg to differ:

 

It is carbon neutral:

 

1.  You eat food

2.  CO2 is captured via photosynthesis (all food sources' energy are derived from the sun);

3.  You digest food

4.  You take Bus No. 11

5.  You emit CO2.

 

The only non carbon neutral portion is the transportation of food, which is powered by fossil fuel.

Bitter pills one time take all.

 

Dunno still got how many to come.

[synthez]

can anyone explain. these cars effectively will cost more when the scheme kicks in. so it makes sense that they are cheaper now. but the fact that they are not that CO free, will they cost more to maintain when they are due for emmision test?

 

I think no one knows for sure. What happens if ppl buy the cheaper more 'polluting' car. When inspection time comes around, and the car cannot pass despite regular servicing what then? Not road-worthy? Pay a fine? Pour RON 98 petrol before inspection? Does that make a diff?

 

Jialat..... ppl like me monitor COE, will continue to monitor forever? How is the public gonna react? Demand surge cos cars gonna cost more next year?

haha they haven tested the contents of your fart

 

if u eat highly 'toxic' foods u may emit poisonous gases!

 

im more interested in the -20k cars now!

 

show me the list!

how about a fit hybrid?
