SMRT has pledged to go green on Wednesday, with the news that they will launch the first Euro V bus in South-east Asia into service by the middle of next month.
Another 66 Euro V buses will replace part of SMRT's fleet between August and December this year.
Currently, authorities here have only set the guideline for 40 per cent of buses here to be Euro IV compliant by 2010.
Euro V buses emit even less greenhouse gases than their Euro IV counterparts.
SMRT also said that they were introducing 200 taxis which will run on compressed natural gas and 100 taxis which meet the Euro IV emission standards.
