Certificates in this category can be used to register any vehicle type except motorcycles, but are mostly used for bigger cars.
As these certificates are transferable, motor traders often secure them for the flexibility to register cars without waiting for the next tender exercise.
The motorcycle (Category D) COE premium recorded a 3 per cent increase from S$10,202 to S$10,503.
This is the third consecutive exercise where the price of such certificates has breached the five-digit mark, and there have been a total of five such occurrences so far in 2026.
The price of a commercial vehicle (Category C) COE dropped 2.5 per cent to S$91,545, from S$93,889. THE STRAITS TIMES
