SINGAPORE - The Republic’s plan to lower carbon emissions through electrification has hit a road bump as one of the two companies trialling battery swopping technology for electric motorcycles is shelving plans to make it available commercially.
Gogoro has extended the trial by six months and is slated to exit the sandbox by September, LTA said. “They are currently on track to obtain type approval for their chargers,” the authority added. This would allow the chargers to be used commercially. During the trial, the batteries were charged centrally at Mo Batteries’ office and delivered to the participating companies’ locations. SingPost, Certis and SDC did not comment on the trial when asked.
After the test period, the companies have to get all the necessary approvals before they can proceed to commercialise their service. Battery swopping sidesteps the inconvenience of waiting, as the empty batteries can be switched for fully charged ones. The G2 electric motorcycle from Singapore company Quantum Mobility is priced at $10,500 before certificate of entitlement . In contrast, a Yamaha Aerox 155, which is a popular combustion-engine motorcycle used for food delivery, costs less than $3,700 before COE.

Arts, Design and Media Graduates Have Lower Employment Rates and Salaries, Says Singapore MinisterFresh university graduates from arts, design and media (ADM) courses typically have a lower employment rate and salaries compared with their peers in other sectors like engineering, built environment and business, said Minister of State for Education Gan Siow Huang. This reflects the economic demand and labour market conditions of each sector, she said in Parliament on April 3. However, over the past 10 years, the average employment rate for ADM graduates was around 88 per cent and their starting salaries grew by about 3.4 per cent each year, she added. Ms Gan was responding to Nominated MP Jean See’s question about whether the Ministry of Education plans to find out why ADM and health sciences graduates have poorer salary outcomes, referencing the latest graduate employment survey released on Feb 22.
