Mr Ng Shi Xuan asked the Minister for National Development considering that approximately 90% of private Heavy Vehicle (HV) lots are not accessible for public enquiry on lot availability, whether the relevant Government agencies will take this into account in their assessment of the adequacy of HV lots islandwide.

Chee Hong Tat

Currently, there are about 40,000 total Heavy Vehicle (HV) lots and 32,000 HVs registered under the Vehicle Parking Certificate (VPC) scheme. Under the VPC scheme, every HV should have a designated overnight parking lot before it is allowed to be registered or have its road tax renewed.

Heavy Vehicle Park (HVP) licence holders have the discretion to allocate VPCs for their HV lots, as the HV lots may be used for their own operating needs. Government agencies will take into consideration the availability of private HV lots open for public enquiry, when working with industry stakeholders such as the Singapore Transport Association to better address HV parking needs.
