Where is the license plate 'Yu Z' from?

Currently, there is no 'Yu Z' license plate. 'Yu' is the abbreviation for Henan Province. The license plate codes for various cities in Henan Province are as follows: Yu A is Zhengzhou, Yu B is Kaifeng, Yu C is Luoyang, Yu D is Pingdingshan, Yu E is Anyang, Yu F is Hebi, Yu G is Xinxiang, Yu H is Jiaozuo, Yu J is Puyang, Yu K is Xuchang, Yu L is Luohe, Yu M is Sanmenxia, Yu N is Shangqiu, Yu P is Zhoukou, Yu Q is Zhumadian, Yu R is Nanyang, Yu S is Xinyang, and Yu U is Jiyuan. License plates serve as identification and information registration for vehicles. Their primary function is to indicate the region to which the vehicle belongs and to allow the vehicle's owner and registration information to be traced based on the license plate.
As a long-time truck driver, I find license plates quite fascinating. The 'Yu Z' plate is definitely from Henan Province, with 'Yu' being the abbreviation for Henan. I often see it on highways. The letter 'Z' usually isn't a city code—like 'Yu A' for Zhengzhou and 'Yu B' for Kaifeng—city plates are alphabetically assigned up to 'Yu U' or 'V'. 'Z' is typically reserved for provincial government or official vehicles, such as administrative cars or special service fleets. I've seen 'Yu Z' plates a few times at Zhengzhou toll stations, with drivers in uniforms, looking very official. License plates not only identify regions but also reveal the nature of vehicles. Paying attention to these details while driving helps better understand road conditions and potential risks. I often remind new drivers that 'Yu Z' plates aren't ordinary civilian vehicles—they might be official cars, so respect and yield the right of way.
