swee swee excuse. more time for them to clean up a screwed up design. 

by the time it is launched will be in 2025? 10year old design....

The Singapore Navy Frigates were built, had sea trials and commissioned faster than the ERP2.

🤣🤣🤣

Transition to next ERP system delayed by global chip shortage

SINGAPORE - The transition to the next-generation Electronic Road Pricing (ERP) system is delayed yet again - this time by the global chip shortage.

The Land Transport Authority (LTA) said Wednesday (Nov 17) that the roll-out - last planned for end-2021 - will now happen in the second half of 2023.

The authority said the chip shortage is expected to only end around end-2022 and early 2023.

The initial plan was to start replacing the current ERP in-vehicle units with new onboard units (OBU) last year. This was eventually pushed to end of this year because of Covid-19. 

As installation of OBUs – involving almost one million vehicles – would take 18 months, the new ERP system is unlikely to be switched on till at least 2025.

The new satellite-based ERP system will replace the current 23-year-old system, which LTA previously said was reaching the end of its operational life.

It will have more features than the current one.

Besides providing information on ERP charging locations and rates, the OBU will provide information such as real-time road traffic updates as well as locations of nearby School Zones and Silver Zones, the LTA had said.

The killer application is its ability to charge for distance travelled. But Deputy Prime Minister Heng Swee Keat announced last year that this function was still “several years away”.

So global chip shortage is not a bad thing afterall, first no touch screen (safer with physical buttons) and now delay in satellite / distance based ERP (cost saving for another 2 - 3 years). :D

wait long long ah, tender already awarded, design can't change

Yes. Our pm wannabe and public enemy already say cannot change. But if delay till 2025 the design might change. 🤣

delay till 2030 …… best-te-rest …. 

still cannot visualize how to mount the big-ass-3pc OBU on fellali, lembugini and maseratty

2023 not 2030.

Anyway pretty near near to the next important date.

GE must be held by 2025. Another delay by 2023? 🤣

Hope LTA leveraged on the failure of the consortium to deliver as per original timeline (a 2.5 years delay is beyond normal indulgence) to get us a better design. 

I am just happy to not have to deal with that monster device for another 2.5 years.

Unlikely they are going to do so.

Any change will involve money.

When LTA ask MOF, confirm Kenna diu 1.
