擁車證

拥车证（英语：Certificate of Entitlement, COE），是政府透过车辆牌照配额许可证的发行，授予成功中标的持有人进行登记，拥有与使用新加坡道路，为期10年的合法权利。需求高时，COE的成本可能超过汽车本身的价值。

起源

起源于新加坡于1990年为了治理城市交通拥堵采取的一种措施。新加坡约有80万辆汽车，其中约50万辆为小汽车。

系统

在购买新的车辆之前，在新加坡，潜在的车主都必需要向陆路交通管理局（LTA）先申办拥车证(Certificate of Entitlement)。

COE Category Refinement in 2013

In September 2013, The COE system has been refined to include a new criterion for Category A cars. Under the change, the engine power of Cat A cars should not exceed 97 kilowatts (kW). This is equivalent to about 130 brake horsepower. This is in addition to the previous criterion of engine capacity of Cat A cars not exceeding 1600 cubic centimetres. However, cars with engine power output exceeding 97 kW will be classified under Category B in COE bidding exercises starting February 2014 despite having engine capacity below 1600 cubic centimetres. The review of the COE categories' criteria was because LTA wanted to differentiate and regulate the buying of mass market and premium cars under Cat A in a bid to control COE prices that hovered closer and closer to S$100,000.
