Car workshops finding it hard to pivot as Singapore transitions to electric vehicles
Singapore aims to have its car population run on cleaner energy by 2030. Acting Transport Minister Jeffrey Siow said electric vehicles could allow roads to be built closer to buildings, as they are silent and non-polluting. The number of petrol cars in Singapore dipped by around 2.7% to stand at about 500,000 as of end-May. Electric cars saw an increase of close to 30% to around 34,000. However, car workshops are finding it hard to pivot, with technicians having to be trained in new, brand-specific technologies. Some EV makers said a highly capable talent pool makes Singapore well-prepared to deal with new EV technologies.
