SINGAPORE: All Singapore-registered vehicles on the roads must be fitted with an on-board unit (OBU) from Jan 1, 2027, which is when the country will fully switch to the next-generation ERP system.

Moving the Land Transport and Related Matters Bill for debate on Feb 3, Acting Transport Minister Jeffrey Siow said the OBU will be mandatory as the ERP2 system uses satellite technology, rather than gantries, to determine a vehicle’s location for toll charging.
