The Subsidised Diesel Control System (SKDS) 2.0 is a crucial initiative aimed at regulating the use of subsidised diesel within the transportation sector. This system plays a significant role in ensuring that only eligible vehicles receive the benefits of subsidised diesel, thereby promoting fair and efficient distribution of resources. To apply for subsidised diesel under SKDS 2.0, there are specific steps that need to be followed.
Firstly, it is important to note that there are 9 types of land transportation vehicles (goods) that are eligible under SKDS 2.0. These include cargo lorries, bottle drink lorries, refrigerated lorries, luton/box lorries, prime movers, flour tank lorries, water tank lorries, panel vans, and window vans. Companies looking to apply for subsidised diesel must ensure that their vehicles fall under one of these categories.
In order to be eligible for the SKDS 2.0 subsidised diesel application, companies must meet certain requirements. Firstly, companies must be registered under the Companies Act 2016, or sole proprietorship and partnership entities registered under the Registration of Businesses Act 1956, or limited liability partnership entities registered under the Limited Liability Partnership Act 2012. Additionally, vehicles must be under the ownership of the company/sole proprietorship or partnership, have valid road tax, and fall under one of the 9 eligible vehicle types.
The process of applying for subsidised diesel and obtaining the Eleet Card involves two main steps. The first step is the subsidised diesel application, which can be done through the MySubsidi Diesel System online portal. Companies are required to provide information such as company details, vehicle registration number, and choice of oil company (maximum 3 brands). Approval is usually immediate if all information is complete and accurate, and the company will receive two important documents: the Subsidised Diesel Purchase Qualification Letter and Approved Vehicle List.
The second step involves applying for the fleet card from the chosen oil company. Companies need to submit the Subsidised Diesel Purchase Qualification Letter and Approved Vehicle List to the selected oil company through the MySubsidi Diesel System. The fleet card application process typically takes 2 to 4 weeks after the complete application is submitted.
In conclusion, the Subsidised Diesel Control System (SKDS) 2.0 is an essential mechanism for managing the use of subsidised diesel in the transportation sector. By following the steps outlined for applying for subsidised diesel under SKDS 2.0, companies can ensure compliance with the eligibility requirements and access the benefits of subsidised diesel in a streamlined and efficient manner.
