Changes to COE: Government includes car engine power to categorisation




From February next year, the Government will include a vehicle's engine power as a new criterion to the way Certificate of Entitlements (COE) are classified.

Any car that falls under Category A - with an engine capacity of not more than 1, 600cc - must also have an engine power of 97 kilowatts or less, the equivalent of 130 horsepower. (wadafug?)

The change will mean that nearly half of today's mass market cars would be reclassified as premium models, or fall under the COE Category B (for cars with 1,600cc and above).

Transport Minister Lui #uck Yew, who announced this on Monday, also said the Government will not levy a surcharge on those who own multiple cars.

what is civic, altis, elantra, mazda3, k3 - horsepower?

nabei .... japanese and korean car maker need to make car with 130bhp cutoff limit for spore market liao

bmw 112/312/412/512/612 coming liao ... dealer calling bmw ag to develop detune ecu liao

then all go JB4 > JB5 > JB6 > 300bhp ... huat ah!!!

What rubbish..

Hosay liao! Can expect lots of detuned models. Buy one then chip and do remapping.

hosay liao ... i already see it coming ... die die whack the f10 even pre-fl model ...

cat B breaks $100K .... i say one !

Hosay liao! Can expect lots of detuned models. Buy one then chip and do remapping.

In future ads will be.....

Ultimately low hp low torque for low ballers!!!!!!!!!

This has got to be the most idiotic idea to ever come out from the garment.
Why don't they simply kick out half the FTs from Singapore and there won't be so much demand for cars thereafter. The same goes for properties.

97 kilowatts? Why not 88.8? Talk about random.

Re: Changes to COE: Government includes car engine power to categorisation

Pegging engine capacity to COE/road taxes, I can understand.

Pegging horsepower to COE.... isn't that counter-intuitive to engine efficiencies?

So engine remaps will become illegal mods? Jia lat... next time inspection also have dyno?

With COE around, all measure is LPPL.

The best is to do away with COE & install ERP gantry on all major roads. Juz like HK, car park is a separate title deeds.

Think intent is to encourage slower moving vehicles and hence more jams??? mm zhi simi logic lo

The way they treat Hybrids and Diesels, do you think they really care abt efficiency, environment, and oil import?

ccb.... like dat buy the most sart-ki cat A car... confirm cannot chiet turbo diesel taxis liao.....

So next time LTA will tow a dyno machine for spot check on those fishy Cat A car on highway?
