Environment and Water Resources Minister Vivian Balakrishnan announced that the government will be enhancing standards to improve air quality in Singapore.
The government will impose Euro V emissions standards for new diesel vehicles starting from 1 January next year.
Currently, there are around 3,400 Euro V-compliant diesel vehicles on the roads.
Dr Balakrishnan said in Parliament more needs to be done as existing old diesel vehicles are a major source of pollution.
To incentivise the owners of old diesel commercial vehicles to retire and upgrade their old vehicles, a new Early Turnover Scheme will be implemented.
