The National Environment Agency (NEA) of Singapore has announced that older foreign motorcycles will soon be disallowed on the roads in the country, while foreign commercial diesel vehicles must comply with lower smoke emissions threshold.

According to a report by Channel News Asia, the move is part of the Singaporean government’s efforts to protect air quality.

NEA stated that starting July 1, 2028, foreign-registered motorcycles registered in their home country before July 1, 2023, will be prohibited from entering Singapore.

Previously, in 2018, NEA announced a similar requirement barring oldlocal motorcycles from Singapore’s roads from July 2028.

This is because older motorcycles generally cause more pollution compared to motorcycles complying to the newer Euro emission standards.

“The requirement will now be extended to foreign-registered motorcycles,” said NEA.

“Foreign motorcyclists entering Singapore are required to use motorcycles registered on or after July 1, 2003, that also comply with Singapore’s in-use emission standards,” the agency added.

The ban on older foreign motorcycles is part of measures to limit vehicular emissions, as they contain pollutants that may affect respiratory health.

NEA also stated that starting on April 1, 2026, the threshold for turning back foreign commercial diesel vehicles entering Singapore will be tightened to 50 HSU (Hartridge Smoke Unit), which is a metric for smoke emissions from diesel vehicles.
