Where is the license plate number 'Su U' from?
2 Answers
Su U is a supplementary license plate number for Suzhou City, Jiangsu Province. According to different types of motor vehicle license plates, the motor vehicle registration number includes the Chinese character abbreviation of the province, autonomous region, or municipality directly under the central government; an English letter representing the issuing authority code; a serial number composed of Arabic numerals and English letters; and a Chinese character abbreviation used for license plates of special-purpose motor vehicles. The license plate codes for various regions in Jiangsu Province are as follows: Su A is Nanjing, Su B is Wuxi, Su C is Xuzhou, Su D is Changzhou, Su E is Suzhou, Su F is Nantong, Su G is Lianyungang, Su H is Huai'an, Su J is Yancheng, Su K is Yangzhou, Su L is Zhenjiang, Su M is Taizhou, Su N is Suqian, and Su U is the supplementary code for Suzhou.
As a veteran driver who frequently travels long distances in Jiangsu, I'm quite familiar with local license plates. The 'Su U' plate belongs to Suzhou City in Jiangsu Province. Suzhou is a developed city with so many vehicles that it previously mainly used 'Su E' plates, but has now added codes like U and V to accommodate growth. When you see a 'Su U' plate on the road, it's usually from the Suzhou area, such as urban taxis or newly registered private cars. Jiangsu license plates are simple and recognizable: 'Su' represents the province, while letters distinguish cities—'Su A' for Nanjing, 'Su B' for Wuxi, 'Su C' for Xuzhou, etc. The changes in license plates reflect the speed of urban development. With Suzhou's rapid economic growth and surge in vehicles, adding more codes makes management easier. Remembering these while driving helps identify road conditions and enhances driving experience.
