SMRT Takes the Car to the Electric Highway
SMRT is rolling out a bold vision to swap every single one of its taxis for an electric upgrade in the next five years. The first batch of 300 plug‑in cabs will start arriving in Singapore from July, and that’s just the tip of the green iceberg.
Why the Electric Drive?
- Green Growth – It’s part of Strides Mobility, SMRT’s sustainable expansion playbook.
- All‑Mode EVs – The plan covers not just cabs, but cars, vans, limos, motorcycles, and even buses. Future‑proof the entire fleet.
- Eco‑Credentials – Aligning with Singapore’s Green Plan, SMRT is aiming to stay ahead as a high‑profile, point‑to‑point operator.
What’s on the Horizon?
Electric taxis aren’t a one‑size‑fits‑all. SMEs might see sedans, station wagons or multi‑purpose vehicles sprouting up, giving passengers choices that match their own commuting adventure. The fleet will adapt as the market evolves.
Word from the Top
“We’re thrilled to be pioneers, pushing the envelope of sustainability across all our businesses while delivering top‑class urban mobility,” says Mr. Tan Kian Heong, President of SMRT Road Holdings.
“Going green isn’t just a policy—it’s embedded in how we run our operations. Every cab on the road is a promise to a cleaner, brighter future.”
Tap into the Future
If you’ve got a steering wheel itching for a cleaner alternative, keep an eye on the upcoming electric taxis. The fair is set to open as soon as July!
