Or even simpler, juz reprogram the chip via the OBD.

That might work, but some will have reached the limits.

You can program the FXT to not activate the turbo ever for example ;)

Or permanently switch off one of the cylinders of a Audi / VW engine..

In theory, when the new surcharge hits, there will be big changes in price.

But dealers aren't stupid, they will have their tactics:

bring in totally new models, 

go cheap on parts to save on the OMV

swop out the engine for a smaller one or cough out money to upgrade the ancient ones responsible for the lousy emission - at least half of the most popular models are using engines which are designed more than 8 years ago..

 

This only applies to small volume car.

 

Look at the bigger brand.  They have better trick than this.

New Scheme Will Cover Four More Pollutants to Reduce Harmful Vehicular Emissions
 

    As announced at the Ministry of the Environment and Water Resources (MEWR)’s 2017 Committee of Supply Debate, NEA will introduce the Vehicular Emissions Scheme (VES) to replace the Carbon Emissions-Based Vehicle Scheme (CEVS) for all new cars, taxis and newly imported used cars with effect from 1 January 2018.

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 (NOx) and particulate matter (PM).

3.  The rebates and surcharges for the respective VES bands are shown in Table 1:

Table 1: VES Banding Rebates and Surcharges

20170308_Table1_VES_Banding_Rebates_and_

 

4.  The VES rebate 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.

5.  Similar to the existing CEVS, the rebate and surcharge for taxis under the VES will be 50 per cent higher to better encourage taxi companies to adopt lower emission models for their fleets, as taxis generally clock higher mileage than cars.

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.

7.  The VES will be applicable for all cars and taxis registered from 1 January 2018 to 31 December 2019. The scheme will be reviewed regularly and take into consideration its impact on motorists’ purchasing decisions, technological advances in vehicles and the progress of Singapore’s overall mitigation efforts on climate change and air pollution.

Extension of the current CEVS

8.  CEVS was introduced in 2013 to encourage the purchase of low carbon emission vehicles, and it was revised in 2015. The average CO2 emissions of new cars and taxis have decreased by 15 per cent since the start of CEVS. The existing CEVS, which is due to expire on 30 June 2017, will be extended to 31 December 2017 to give the vehicle dealers more time to prepare for the new scheme and import cleaner vehicle models.

Enhancements to the Fuel Economy Labelling Scheme (FELS)

9.  To help potential vehicle buyers make informed decisions, fuel economy labels will be re-designed to include information on each vehicle’s VES band. The new label will need to be affixed on showroom cars displayed for sale when the VES is implemented from 1 January 2018.

Personally, I think this move by the government will encourage more electric cars and hybrid cars in Singapore and discourage diesel cars. It may make the dealers bring in some new models. There might be minimal impact to COE.

 

This is my first time to start the thread. I hope I have provided sufficient information for the readers. Let's start our discussion here.

ha! they will start raking in this year itself... with the expectation of price increase going up even more next year.

Owners of petrol vehicles will have to maintain their cars and bikes regularly if they are to pass regular inspections next year. From 1st April 2018, most of these vehicles will have to emit less carbon monoxide than now, and will have to meet a new hydrocarbons cap. 

 

For instance, any car registered between 1st January 2001 and 31stMarch 2014 currently cannot have more than 3.5 percent of carbon monoxide in its emission. This cap will be lowered to one percent from April next year. On top of that, the emission cannot contain more than 300 parts per million (ppm) of hydrocarbons, a byproduct of imperfect combustion.

 

For cars registered from 1st April 2014, the standards are even higher - a carbon monoxide composition of no more than 0.3 percent, and a hydrocarbon make-up of no more than 200ppm at an engine speed of 2,000rpm.

 

Many 2001 onwards COE car will tio.... no mention of what happens when they fail though. Not like it's something that can even be fixed (even after spending big $$$ too). 

 

GG liao for those cars.

U forgot attached below paragragh  [:)]

 

Less stringent standards apply to motorbikes and older cars. For diesel vehicles, the National Environment Agency said the current smoke opacity test will continue to apply.

Mr Masagos said: "These standards are designed to be easily met by properly maintained vehicles."

Makes zero sense.

 

Older cars more pollutive but got less stringent stds??

From the table, those that don't use petrol like diesel models or use little petrol like Prius Hybrid kenna most jialat.

Is it to make up for the petrol tax that they save?  [lipsrsealed]

Supercharged

if you look closely at the new standards, they are nudging you to go electric.
but... but... but... the infrastructure is still not mature to go electric leh.

 

it is akin to chasing kampong people out, but never build enough HDB to house them, then later complain that there are too many squatters around. sigh... another million dollar knee jerk half baked solution?
