Changan enters Singapore with new category of commercial vehicle
Changan, a leading Chinese automobile maker, debuted the STAR 1.3L and SPACE 1.3L at the Singapore Motorshow 2015. The Light Utility Trucks introduce a new category of commercial vehicle to Singapore. The Changan STAR 1.3L and SPACE 1.3L offer Singapore’s SMEs and transport fleet operators with an economical utility vehicle with a low upfront cost. With a deck length of 2.5 metres for the Changan STAR and 2.3 metres for Changan SPACE, the size and capacity of the new trucks are a hybrid between 10-ft lorries and pick-ups. Both vehicles can carry loads of up to one tonne and run on 1.3L petrol engines. They are classified under Category C COE.
Compliant with Euro 4 standards, the trucks also qualify for the Singapore Land Transportation Authority’s Early Turnover Scheme (ETS), which allows existing commercial vehicle owners to get a new vehicle COE at a subsidized rate.
TC Changan Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tan Chong International Limited, is the exclusive distributor of Changan vehicles in Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam and Philippines.
“Changan is a pioneer in China's automotive industry so it’s exciting to finally be able to launch the brand here in Singapore,” says Mr. Seetoh Kwok Meng, Chief Executive Officer of TC Changan.
“The Changan STAR 1.3L and SPACE 1.3L fill a significant gap in Singapore’s light commercial vehicle segment. These light utility trucks will appeal to SMEs that are looking for a compact commercial vehicle that is reliable, has low operating costs and is reasonably priced.”
The Changan STAR 1.3L and SPACE 1.3L will be on display for the first time in Singapore at the Singapore Motorshow 2015, running from 15 – 18 January, 2015, at Suntec Singapore Convention and Exhibition Centre Level 4, Booth 132.
