LTA procures 111 double-decker buses from ST Engineering for $54m

The buses will comply with the latest Euro 6 engine emission standard.

The Land Transport Authority (LTA) will procure 111 two-door, double-deck, Euro 6 diesel buses from ST Engineering Land Systems for $54m, an announcement revealed.

“In determining the award of the tender, LTA considered the various aspects of the participating bidders, such as their relevant experience, track records, technical capabilities and compliance with local regulations,” LTA said.

The new buses will progressively arrive in Singapore from 2019 until 2020 in line with LTA’s vision to replace its ageing bus fleet. The vehicles will comply with the Euro 6 engine emission standard which is the latest required for new diesel buses registered from 1 January 2018 onwards.

Aside from cleaner and lower exhaust emissions, LTA said that the buses will have improvements for a safer and more comfortable ride as well as an enhanced Passenger Information Display System.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
