| 1947 | Singapore Government | 35993 | Singapore | Singapore | C40 | 2015 | Private Transport | Improve fuel economy and reduce CO2 from motorized vehicles | Under the Carbon Emissions-based Vehicle Scheme (CEVS) that was introduced in Jan 2013, all new and imported used cars, as well as taxis, are banded into categories based on their CO2/ km performance data. Low-emission cars are given incentives, while cars on the other end of the spectrum incur a penalty in the form of a registration surcharge. This encourages more consumers and companies to choose lower-emission car and taxi models. The rebate for taxis is set at 50% higher compared to cars as taxis generally clock higher mileage and thus typically emit more CO2 per year than cars. The current scheme is due to expire on 30 June 2015. To further encourage vehicle buyers to shift to low carbon emission models, rebates and surcharges will be increased for very low and high carbon emission vehicles respectively. Under the revised CEVS, all new cars and imported used cars registered from 1 July 2015 with low carbon emissions of less than or equal to 135g carbon emissions per kilometre will qualify for rebates of between $5,000 and $30,000, which will be offset against the vehicle’s Additional Registration Fee (ARF). Cars with high carbon emissions equal to or more than 186g CO2/km, will incur a registration surcharge of between $5,000 and $30,000. | (51.9055346°, 4.4742753°) | (1.352083°, 103.819836°) | |

| 1949 | City of Stockholm | 3429 | Sweden | Stockholm | C40 | 2015 | Private Transport | Improve fuel economy and reduce CO2 from motorized vehicles | Vattenfall and the City are working together to make electric cars and plug-in hybrids to Sweden. Electric cars have very low emissions of climate gases and are cheap to "refuel" but they are still hard to find in the Swedish market. We now have the help of climate-smart companies and organizations. Our procurement initiative makes it easier and faster to get electric cars and plug-in hybrids and provide better conditions. In the years 2010/2011, we established together with companies and organizations a test fleet of 50 electric cars. We have together with SKL Kommentus conducted a coordinated procurement of EVs and PHEVs. A total of 296 organizations and companies from across the country have registered their interest to buy 1250 electric vehicles per year over the next four years. | (59.3293235°, 18.0685808°) | (60.128161°, 18.643501°) | |
