Singapore’s leading land transport operator, ComfortDelGro, has partnered French energy giant ENGIE, to jointly bid for tenders in the green electric vehicle (EV) charging field, as well as to explore and deploy clean energy solutions together.
For starters, the pair has jointly submitted a bid for a pilot tender called by the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) and the Land Transportation Authority (LTA) for electric vehicle charging points that cover the installation and operation of more than 600 EV charging points at over 200 public carparks across Singapore, in a wide range of accessible areas such as public housing estates, industrial estates, public parks, and community centres. Successful tenderers will be required to install charging stations at their allotted carparks by the third quarter of 2022.
A partnership agreement jointly signed with TUV SUD PSB to develop a training programme to upskill automotive technicians on the safe handling of high voltage systems in electric and hybrid vehicles.
