New vehicles registered from May 1 will be pre-fitted with equipment for the next-generation ERP system and, at the same time, owners of existing motorcycles will be informed progressively to have their current in-vehicle units (IUs) replaced.

Installation of the new on-board units for existing motorcycles will start from June 1, and motorcycle owners do not have to pay for the installation if the fitting is done within a two-month period stipulated in their notification. Outside this period, it will cost these owners $35 for the installation.

Giving an update on March 28, the Land Transport Authority (LTA) said owners of other existing Singapore-registered vehicles such as cars and lorries will be informed progressively to make their installation appointments from the second half of 2024.

According to LTA, more than 13,000 vehicles have been fitted with the new on-board units since November 2023, when the installation exercise for the equipment began with fleet vehicles. “Of these, around 75 per cent have been fleet vehicles, such as buses and motorcycles,” a spokesperson for LTA said.

Since January, all public buses in Singapore have been fitted with new on-board units, and since Feb 13, 1,300 newly registered motorcycles have been pre-fitted with the equipment.
