This comes after China became the first country to ban concealed door handles on electric vehicles (EVs) earlier in February.

In response to queries on Feb 9, an LTA spokesperson said the authority “regularly reviews vehicle technical requirements to keep pace with industry and technological developments”, adding that it is aware of global developments linked to hidden electronic door handles.
