  • How a vehicle emissions regulation has backfired in Singapore: TransportBT
    2024/11/18

    Electric vehicles have come a long way since they first burst onto the scene a decade ago.

    These days, we’re also seeing not just cars, but also electric vans, lorries, even garbage trucks hitting the roads.

    But Singapore’s electrification journey is hitting some surprising speed bumps.

    In this episode of TransportBT, host Derryn Wong sits down with Edward Tan, executive director of the Hong Seh Group, to uncover the loopholes in Singapore’s EV policies, and how they might have unintentionally hurt the movement.

    Highlights:

    03:52 Impact of Commercial Vehicle Emission Scheme (CVES)

    06:15 Loopholes in the CVES policy

    09:39 Falling commercial electrification rates

    11:30 How technology is outpacing policy

    14:41 Future of electric vehicles in Singapore

  • As Audi goes direct-to-consumer, who benefits? TransportBT
    2024/10/23

    Big changes are coming to Singapore’s car market.

    Car manufacturers are saying goodbye to the traditional dealership model. Instead, they’re opting to drop the middleman, and sell cars directly to customers.

    Last year, Porsche Singapore took the plunge.

    And now, German luxury carmaker Audi is following suit.

    Starting in January 2025, Audi Singapore will be selling its full slate of cars to consumers directly. The brand is opening a new experience centre, which they’re calling the Audi House of Progress, right at the heart of the city.

    Where does this leave the dealers? Can buyers expect cheaper cars in the future?

    On this episode of TransportBT, correspondent Derryn Wong sits down with Markus Schuster, managing director of Audi Singapore, to take you behind this ambitious move.

    Highlights:

    02:23 Audi’s big plans

    04:02 A brand-new experience centre, Audi’s House of Progress

    08:19 Impact on dealer and after sales

    12:13 Challenges in the new business model

    16:08 Turning sales volume around

    18:59 Cheaper prices?

  • Should BTO applicants buy HDB Plus and Prime flats? PropertyBT
    2024/09/25

    There’s a new framework in town for HDB projects. Starting in October, new BTO flats will either be Standard, Plus or Prime.

    New Plus and Prime flats will be in attractive locations and have higher subsidies, but they also come with tighter resale conditions, including a ten-year minimum occupation period, and a ban on rentals.

    What does this mean for BTO buyers? Are the new Plus and Prime flats worth the additional restrictions? Will it be tough to upgrade from a BTO Plus or Prime home to a condo unit?

    Senior correspondent Leslie Yee gets insights from PropertyGuru’s Dr Lee Nai Jia.
