What do D and F mean in new energy vehicle plates?
1 Answers
License plates starting with D represent pure electric small new energy vehicles, while those starting with F represent non-pure electric small new energy vehicles (including plug-in hybrids and fuel cell vehicles). Plates ending with D represent pure electric large new energy vehicles, while those ending with F represent non-pure electric large new energy vehicles (including plug-in hybrids and fuel cell vehicles). Here are specific details about new energy vehicle plates: 1. Color: Small new energy vehicles use gradient green plates, while large new energy trucks use yellow-green dual-color plates. Both symbolize green, environmental protection, and technology. 2. Additional digit: The number of digits on green plates has increased from 5 to 6, using only two letters: D and F. D represents pure electric, while F represents hybrid. 3. Eliminating fake and cloned plates: The new plates incorporate advanced technology. The manufacturing source, production time, and recipient of each plate can be traced, with nationwide unified management and distribution. 4. "Privileges": Taking Chengdu as an example: Vehicles with green plates are exempt from traffic restrictions based on license plate endings; they enjoy two hours of free parking in many lots; and delivery vehicles with green plates can operate at any time.
