Buying a commercial vehicle in Singapore represents one of the most critical business investments affecting operational efficiency, delivery performance, customer satisfaction, and profitability. This comprehensive guide covers everything Singapore businesses need to know to buy commercial vehicle assets strategically.
Understanding Commercial Vehicle Classifications in Singapore
Singapore's Land Transport Authority (LTA) categorizes commercial vehicles into distinct classifications. Understanding these categories is essential when you buy commercial vehicle assets for regulatory compliance and operational optimization.
Light Goods Vehicles (LGV)
Light Goods Vehicles serve urban delivery operations throughout Singapore. LGVs provide exceptional maneuverability for congested districts, tight parking spaces, and restricted access zones. Courier services, pharmaceutical distributors, florists, and last-mile delivery operators rely on LGVs for daily operations.
Heavy Goods Vehicles (HGV)
Heavy Goods Vehicles provide substantial cargo capacity for construction materials, industrial equipment, and wholesale distribution across Singapore.
Very Heavy Goods Vehicles (VHGV)
Very Heavy Goods Vehicles serve specialized heavy transport requirements with maximum load capacity for construction projects and bulk materials.
Goods-Cum-Passenger Vehicles (GPV)
Goods-Cum-Passenger Vehicles combine cargo space with passenger seating for contractors transporting teams and equipment simultaneously.
The Land Transport Authority provides detailed commercial vehicle classification information.
