YCP in Numbers
Key Challenges We Address
A COE-Constrained Market That Compresses Growth Options
- Singapore maintains 0% annual growth for its vehicle population, making COE quota cycles a decisive driver of sales volumes, affordability and inventory risk.
- This calls for scenario-led planning: YCP connects quota outlooks with pricing, demand and inventory models to protect margins and pinpoint resilient segments.
Electrification Is Rewriting Portfolio and Fleet Decisions
- EVs accounted for 33.6% of new car registrations in 2024, while new internal-combustion car registrations are set to end in 2030.
- Against this transition, YCP helps OEMs, dealers and fleet operators prioritize segments, design offers and build economics for EV-led growth.
Charging Rollout Depends on Site-Level Execution
- Singapore targets 60,000 charging points by 2030—40,000 public and 20,000 private—yet site access, power upgrades and utilization remain complex.
- YCP translates network ambition into rollout plans, evaluating locations, partnerships, capex, utilization and operating models to improve returns.
Mobility Providers Must Win in a Transit-First System
- Singapore aims for 8 in 10 peak-period journeys to use public transport by 2040, raising the bar for integrated, convenient first- and last-mile mobility.
- YCP helps mobility players define customer propositions, forge ecosystem partnerships and scale data-led operations around multimodal travel demand.
