You can get an approved speed limiter installation through Cartrack Singapore. We’ve partnered up with SPF Authorised Agents (AA) to make it easier for you to find an installer. With us, you can get both telematics and speed limiter installations done in one appointment. This eliminates having to do multiple site visits, saving you from the hassle and reducing downtime.
In an effort to reduce road accident rates, the Singapore government has introduced new regulations. As of 1 January 2026, a speed limiter device is mandatory for all commercial vehicles weighing between 3 501 kg and 12 000 kg when fully loaded. Our partnership with the approved installers ensures that your fleet remains compliant with the new Singapore laws.
Let’s dive into why you need a speed installer, the consequences of not having one, and what makes us the best choice.
According to the Singapore Police Force, approximately 40% of truck owners haven’t fitted their trucks with speed limiters. If you’re one of them, your time is running out, as this needs to be done before the year ends. Heavy vehicles pose a great risk on the road. When handled recklessly, they can cause major injuries and fatalities.
Our recent data reveals 80% of heavy vehicles are still exceeding the speed limit, and those who are already driving slower have experienced a 23% decline in driving quality. The primary goal of this new law is to improve road safety and driver behaviour. These speed-limiting devices stop trucks from going above 60 km/h, ensuring there’s less speeding on the road and fewer accidents.
This new law is being introduced in phases. Heavy trucks that were registered before 1 January 2018 must install speed limiters by 1 January 2026, and lighter trucks by 1 July 2026. Failure to comply with these regulations by your deadline will result in heavy penalties.
If you don’t comply with the speed limiter regulations, you may be charged with fines ranging from $1000 to $10 000. Your vehicles will also be prohibited from being driven, and you could also spend up to three months in prison. If you’re a repeat offender, your imprisonment can go up to six months.
The speed limiter requirement will also be included in the Workplace Safety and Health Council’s (WSCH) risk management audit as part of the bizSAFE certification and renewal process. This means that if your fleet vehicles roam around without speed limiters, you risk non-renewal of the certificate or even getting it in the first place.
At Cartrack, we have direct partnerships with LTA-approved agents, giving you a seamless installation process. You’ll get certified technicians who follow strict guidelines to ensure accuracy. Our speed limiting device solution also comes with three flexible payment options to ease cash flow concerns.

When paired with advanced driver safety solutions such as our AI dashcams, GPS trackers, and telematics alerts, you get an all-round fleet safety solution. So contact us today to ensure that your business stays compliant.
Yes, speed limiters are safe, as they act as a way to help drivers maintain a good driving speed to reduce accidents. In terms of technical failures, well that depends on your installer. An approved speed limit installer will ensure the vehicle modification doesn’t interfere with the functionality of important vehicle components.
No, the local council can’t set their own speed limit. Speed limits can only be determined by the Land Transport Authority. They’re the only ones responsible for planning, building, and maintaining Singapore’s land transport infrastructure. The general speed limit in Singapore is 50 km/h, unless otherwise stated by road signs.
Yes, a speed limiter is removable, but it requires a professional. A speed limiter is typically programmed into a vehicle’s Engine Control Unit (ECU), so having it removed requires altering or reprogramming the ECU. It’s a complex process that only an experienced professional can handle. Also, keep in mind that tampering with a speed limiter is considered a violation.
The speed limiter label that’s provided by an authorised agent must be displayed at the top right portion of your windscreen so it can be seen from outside of your vehicle. Failure to do so will be considered an offence.
The cost of a speed limiter depends on the specific type of speed limiter your vehicle requires. Cartrack offers three payment options for speed limiters. You can choose between monthly instalments of $21 over 36 months, an annual plan of $62.50 per month, or an upfront payment of $700*. This is for electrical speed limiters. A charge of $1,100 is applicable for mechanical limiters.
