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.
ETS stands for Early Turnover Scheme. 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.
