TransCab Services to roll out 2,000 new CNG taxis
SINGAPORE: Local taxi company, TransCab Services, plans to roll
out 2,000 new cabs that will run on compressed natural gas (CNG) over
the next one to two years.
This was revealed as its parent company, Union Energy, launched a
ground breaking ceremony on Thursday to commence construction of what
is said to be the world's largest CNG refuelling station in Singapore.
Located along Old Toh Tuck Road at Bukit Timah, it will be
Singapore's fifth CNG station when ready, and Union Energy's first
foray into the CNG market.
The new CNG station, to be named C-Nergy, will be built over 7,000 square metres of land.
Up to 46 CNG vehicles will be able to refuel at any one point in time.
Union Energy says it expects C-Nergy to be open to the public by August this year.
The company says the station will also be used to service its existing and new CNG taxis.
TransCab currently operates some 2,600 taxis -- 500 of which run on CNG.

Good move .... extra CNG taxis to give Comfort some extra pain in their neck .
They launching 2000 CNG taxis , meaning some 2000 taxi drivers around the trade will move into CNG taxis .... i believe mainly 60% will come from Citycab drivers and SMRT .
Comfort and Citycab nowadays no perks to encourage their drivers to stay on .
2 reasons :
1.$800 CNG rebates per month . Comfort gave nothing .
2.Sonata rental almost $105 , Wish only $99 ....hands down better rental .
Let's see how the market react to the new fleet of brand new Wish .
Looking forward to new cabs on the roads....
