New Registration of Motor Vehicles Under Vehicle Quota System (VQS)

Description

Land Transport Authority monthly CSV of new motor vehicle registrations in Singapore under the Vehicle Quota System (VQS) by COE category from January 2014 through April 2020. Includes notes on weekend/off-peak cars, taxis, the Early Turnover Scheme, and VQS-exempt vehicles. Transport analysts track new registrations across quota categories.

Official description

* Figures include weekend/off peak cars and tax exempted vehicles. * Prior to Aug 2012, taxi operators can bid for a new COE or pay Prevailing Quota Premium (PQP) to register a taxi under Category A. The latter is only in the case of a new taxi that replaces a deregistered one within 6 months. From 6 Aug 2012 onwards, all taxis pay for COEs based on the PQP of Category A. * Refers to the Early Turnover Scheme (ETS). Between 24 Apr 2013 and 30 Apr 2016, vehicle owners can de-register their existing diesel-propelled Category C vehicles that were registered before 1 Jan 2001 and register a replacement vehicle within 1 month of de-registration by paying a discounted Prevailing Quota Premium (PQP) under the ETS. From 1 Aug 2015, the ETS was extended to existing diesel-propelled Category C vehicles that were registered between 1 Jan 2001 and 30 Sep 2006 and will be de-registered between 1 Aug 2015 and 31 Jul 2017. * Vehicles exempted from the VQS include scheduled and school buses, emergency vehicles, engineering plants primarily for off-the-road use, diplomatic vehicles and vehicles under the Disabled Person Scheme. Cars registered with COEs obtained from the Feb 2014 1st bidding exercise onwards: * Category A: Cars up to 1600cc and 97kW. * Category B: Cars above 1600cc or 97kW. Cars registered with COEs obtained before Feb 2014 bidding exercises: * Category A: Cars up to 1600cc. * Category B: Cars above 1600cc. M02-New Reg by Quota
