SMRT to convert taxi fleet to electric in five years

SMRT would be the first point-to-point transport operator to deploy electric taxis on a large scale.

Public transportation service provider SMRT plans to convert all of its taxi fleet to electric taxis in the next five years.

This project is under its sustainable urban mobility services arm, Strides Mobility, as a part of its commitment to the Singapore Green Plan 2030.

"In line with Singapore’s Green Plan, we are excited to be among the first point-to-point transport operators to commit to the deployment of electric taxis on a large scale. This is a key part of our plan to incorporate principles of sustainability into each of our businesses to bring sustainable urban mobility services to our customers," said SMRT Road Holdings President Tan Kian Heong.

The first batch of electric taxis is slated to arrive in July.

Its taxi fleet has been 100% hybrid since 2020.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
