COE quota up 3% at 18,701 for August to October
[SINGAPORE] There will be 18,701 Certificates of Entitlement (COEs) available for tender from August to October 2025.
This is up 3 per cent or 469 COEs from the May to July period, where 18,232 COEs were up for bidding, the Land Transport Authority (LTA) said on Monday (Jul 28).
The quota for Category A COEs, used to register mainstream passenger cars, will increase by 1 per cent or 75 to 7,586.
Category B COEs, for larger and more powerful cars, will also be up 1 per cent or 48 to 4,737.
Category C, for goods vehicles and buses, is up 1 per cent or 17 to 1,642 as well.
The quota Category D, used for motorcycles, is unchanged at 3,198.
Meanwhile, the Category E COE supply, which can be used to register any vehicle type except motorcycles, is up 27.2 per cent to 1,538.
The rise in quota was due to vehicle deregistrations from July 2024 to June 2025, and provisions for 0.25 per cent yearly growth in commercial vehicle (Category C) COEs based on the category’s vehicle population as at Dec 31, 2024.
It also accounts for changes in the taxi population, expired COEs, Early Turnover Scheme for commercial vehicles, redistribution from guaranteed deregistrations for Category A, Category B and Category D and injection of additional COEs.
