distance based is a few years away, but the replacement of the gantry type may be soon? who knows...

LTA keep quiet and no news anywhere means probably got the expected screw up again.

There is a lot of technical issue to be solved before distance based can be deployed, especially in a concrete jungle city like Singapore.

iirc, they tried to do it in Tokyo but gave up ?

simply too many buildings and too dense.

 

In SG MIW will never give up on something that can bring them even more money. They will bend, destroy, cover over any obstacles and challenges they may encounter along the way to make that thing work.

the device is not built by SG..... its by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries. For the guys who have seen the actual OBU...you are bounded by OSA. You are not supposed to say anything about the device and design hor....

ERP 2.0 won’t be implemented this year

erp-20-on-hold.jpg

source: https://www.torque.com.sg/news/erp-2-0-wont-be-implemented-this-year/?fbclid=IwAR3eTOUTOdx9Yahi5UwKjR4qxUoA5kZhl6fq0ww7fT8zxMVtiwVG1vycnco

The move to charge motorists according to the distance they drive – distance-based electronic road pricing (ERP) – will not come for several years more.

This was revealed amid the announcement of a new lump sum tax for electric vehicles (EVs) in lieu of fuel excise duty. This does not apply to EVs as they do not run on fossil fuels.

Deputy Prime Minister Heng Swee Keat said the excise duty on fuel is a form of mileage tax to discourage indiscriminate use, which in turn has an impact on pollution and congestion.

“Ideally, we would like to implement a usage-based tax on EVs as an alternative to fuel excise duties,” he said.

“But the technology to do this properly is the next-generation ERP system, and distance-based charging using ERP is still several years away.”

Last June, the Land Transport Authority dismissed talk that the project was delayed. It said that the second-generation ERP system “is on track to be progressively rolled out from next year “.

However, it said that during a transition period, “there will be no changes to the existing congestion-management framework”.

That means ERP 2.0, or distance-based ERP will not kick in yet.

If the system is up, it will be the first distance-based road charging to be implemented in a city. While some motorists had dreaded being charged according to their driving distances, not everyone felt that way.

Business consultant Albert Lee, 61, said a distance-based charging system – to be applied on top of time and location criteria – is more equitable.

“I am honestly looking forward to distance-based charging as I think this is a fair way. So, any delay is disappointing.”

“But when distance-based charging finally comes, I hope the Government will review the entire car tax structure to have less weightage on ownership and more on usage.”

SINGAPORE - Motorists dreading the day when they will be charged according to the distance they drive can breathe a sigh of relief: Distance-based electronic road pricing (ERP) will not come for "several years" more.

The reprieve was revealed amid the announcement of a new lump sum tax for electric vehicles in lieu of fuel excise duty, which does not apply to EVs as they do not use fossil fuels.

Finance Minister Heng Swee Keat said the excise duty on fuel is a form of mileage tax to discourage indiscriminate use, which in turn has an impact on pollution and congestion.

"Ideally, we would like to implement a usage-based tax on EVs as an alternative to fuel excise duties," he said. "But the technology to do this properly is the next-generation ERP system, and distance-based charging using ERP is still several years away."

The Land Transport Authority said last June that the second-generation ERP system "is on track to be progressively rolled out from next year (2020)". However, it said during a transition period, "there will be no changes to the existing congestion-management framework" - meaning, distance-based charging will not kick in yet.

Supercharged

Start of installation of OBUs delayed to 2H 2021.

Bad: must install a large "processing unit" in your cabin (not sure if can be installed elsewhere eg. boot instead) 🤬
