Debated in Parliament on 6 May 2026.
Mr Ng Shi Xuan asked the Acting Minister for Transport what is the percentage of depot staff working with electric buses who are certified and capable of handling high voltage electric vehicle (EV) batteries.
All bus depot technicians handling high voltage maintenance of electric buses are required to obtain the National EV Specialist Safety (NESS-BUS) certification. This ensures that they are familiar with electrical safety requirements when handling high voltage batteries.
