MOTORISTS who buy new cars from next month will be able to know exactly how fuel-efficient their rides are.
Singapore will have, by the year's end, South-east Asia's first laboratory to measure fuel consumption and emission levels.
It is being set up on the back of the impending Fuel Economy Labelling Scheme, which will require all new cars to bear a label stating the number of litres a vehicle needs to run 100km. The centre is expected to be used by parallel importers, who will have problems meeting the requirements of the scheme since they do not get their cars directly from manufacturers.
