SINGAPORE: New diesel cars and taxis will no longer be registered in Singapore starting Jan 1, 2025, as part of a push by the Government to have all vehicles on the streets of the Republic running on cleaner energy by 2040.

The move to phase out the more pollutive vehicles was announced in Parliament three years ago during a debate on the Government’s environmental sustainability plans in March 2021.
