Heavy Vehicle Zero Emissions Scheme
Up to S$40,000 per qualifying heavy EV
Administered by Land Transport Authority (LTA) · Window: 2026-01-01 → 2028-12-31
Support type
Per-vehicle cash rebate
S$40,000 disbursed over three tranches per registered zero-tailpipe-emission heavy goods vehicle or bus above 3,500 kg Maximum Laden Weight.
Who qualifies
- · Zero-tailpipe-emission heavy goods vehicles (HGV) above 3,500 kg Maximum Laden Weight
- · Zero-tailpipe-emission heavy buses above 3,500 kg Maximum Laden Weight
- · Vehicles must be newly registered within the scheme window
- · Battery-electric and hydrogen fuel-cell electric (FCEV) vehicles both qualify subject to LTA VTA
How to apply
- 1. Ensure the vehicle model has completed LTA Vehicle Type Approval (VTA) before purchase
- 2. Register the vehicle within the scheme window (1 Jan 2026 – 31 Dec 2028)
- 3. Rebate is disbursed over three tranches — application is administered by LTA at time of registration
- 4. Combine with EHVCG for charger co-funding; different eligibility rules apply per scheme
Caps and window
Windowed programme — 2026 to end 2028. Rebate per vehicle, not per operator. Fleet operators applying at scale should confirm tranche timing with LTA.
Notes
This is the flagship SG heavy-vehicle electrification incentive. Combined with EHVCG on the charger side, it substantially closes the diesel-vs-electric TCO gap for the qualifying vehicle classes.
