HDT retreats from its Singapore taxi business

HDT Singapore Holdings will shut its unique electric taxi business in Singapore, due in part to losses associated with the pandemic.

HDT has made an application to the Land Transport Authority to exit the taxi industry, which has been accepted, according to a joint press release with the National Taxi Association.

“From the onset of COVID-19 in January 2020 and up till now, HDT Taxi has been wrestling with the slowing growth of its business due to the pandemic measures such as sustained periods of people working from home and restricted travel," the release stated.

"The challenges posed by COVID-19 are unprecedented."

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.
