you think singapore will import more of those enviromental friendly car in the near future? even if the car exist in singapore, is it still affordable? is it really that eco- friendly?
Singapore will import more for sure
it's definetely affordable, converting car to CNG cost only around 4k..
Yup, its surely eco-friendly then petrol for sure
Eco-Friendly will make it to the shores of Singapore one day but that will take some time for that to happen
Stupid govt tax diesel car so high! Now diesel engines are much more fuel effcient than petrol engines. Diesel engines are also more powerful (more torque) in city driving. Since in S'pore, its cheaper to pump diesel than petrol, diesel car is currently the best choice. So why aren't people buying diesel cars?
There is very few diesel cars on the market. Whose fault? GOVT!
Why govt fault? I'll explain now.... Even got alot of diesel cars on the market, very few pple will buy becoz of the stupid tax structure whereby $1.25 is taxed per 1cc. You take a 2 litre turbo diesel (which is normal in european countries), that will be $2500 per year in road tax alone!
Nobody want to buy means dealers here don't want to sell. Those people who really want fuel efficient diesel engine are only left with a very small amount of cars to choose from. Whose fault? GOVT!
As you can see, govt plays a big role in 'green cars' and fuel efficent cars. Don't blame the technology, blame the govt.
If they really do so much to care for the environment then they should not impose these fees. Its a contradiction.
Ai yah with that few old man sitting down there with one foot in the coffin and nothing much to live for, they don't just care much about this since they going to leave this world soon without regret den they simply don't care about the rest of the people future lol![]()
