July 3, 2008 CNG labelling: Just whose rule is it? I CONVERTED my saloon car to a compressed natural gas (CNG)-run vehicle recently. Upon receiving my vehicle, I found two poorly designed green CNG labels pasted on the front and rear bumpers and was told by the workshop that they are a Land Transport Authority (LTA) requirement. The workshop staff also cautioned me that drivers of CNG vehicles without the labels could be fined. However, lately I realised that white CNG Mercedes taxis do not bear such labels. I called LTA to inquire and was told that it does not have a regulation on CNG labelling. LTA said it was a Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) requirement for fire-fighting purposes. Upon further clarification with the SCDF, I was told it, too, does not have such a regulation. The officer suggested it was Spring Singapore that requested the CNG labelling. I hope the relevant authorities can confirm if there is such a regulation. I would also like to inquire if there is a better way of indicating a CNG vehicle, such as number-plates of a different colour or a properly-designed decal.
