PUB has announced plans to replace 47 diesel-powered vehicles with electric vehicles (EVs) by 2025 as part of its sustainability efforts in Singapore. Contracts worth nearly USD5 million have been awarded to two subsidiaries of Cycle & Carriage (C&C) for the supply of these EVs, including vans and pickup trucks.
This transition aligns with Singapore’s goal to phase out internal combustion engine vehicles by 2040. The new EVs will replace 47 existing vehicles and follow the deployment of an initial batch of six EVs in 2021. PUB’s move is part of a broader public sector initiative under the GreenGov.SG sustainability plan, which mandates that all new vehicles procured by the government be clean-energy models with no tailpipe emissions.
