H is the abbreviation for the Navy, and d represents the Equipment Department. Therefore, a license plate starting with 'hd' indicates that it belongs to the Navy Equipment Department. Military license plates use the seventh generation (04 type), which was officially put into use in May 2013. Relevant information about military license plates is as follows: 1. This type of license plate is called the '2012-style' military vehicle license plate.

White license plates are commonly seen in public security departments, judicial departments, procuratorates, as well as armed police forces, PLA troops, and other state power institutions.
