Review of Current Vehicle Licence Classifications for Electric Vehicles

Mr Gabriel Lam asked the Coordinating Minister for National Security and Minister for Home Affairs (a) whether the Ministry will review the current vehicle licence classifications to account for the higher unladen weight of electric trucks caused by battery mass; and (b) whether electric vehicles with an unladen weight of up to 3,000kg may be driven under a Class 3 licence instead of a Class 4 licence.

Mr K Shanmugam: The Traffic Police has been reviewing this and will announce the details shortly.
