Which city does the Yue E license plate belong to?

Yue E license plate belongs to Foshan City, Guangdong Province. The license plate codes for various regions in Guangdong are as follows: Yue A is Guangzhou City, Yue B is Shenzhen City, Yue C is Zhuhai City, Yue D is Shantou City, Yue E is Foshan City, Yue F is Shaoguan City, Yue G is Zhanjiang City, Yue H is Zhaoqing City, Yue J is Jiangmen City, Yue K is Maoming City, Yue L is Huizhou City, Yue M is Meizhou City, Yue N is Shanwei City, Yue P is Heyuan City, Yue Q is Yangjiang City, Yue R is Qingyuan City, Yue S is Dongguan City, Yue T is Zhongshan City, Yue U is Chaozhou City, Yue V is Jieyang City, Yue W is Yunfu City, Yue X is Shunde District, Yue Y is Nanhai District, Yue Z is for vehicles entering the mainland from Hong Kong and Macau.

The license plate starting with 粤E is the exclusive code for Foshan City in Guangdong Province. Every time I see a car with 粤E on the highway, it feels particularly familiar. Speaking of Foshan, it’s not just the license plate that’s special—as the third-largest economic city in Guangdong, 粤E has grown alongside local automakers like GAC Trumpchi and Honda. I once heard from a friend that Foshan car owners often enjoyed exclusive annual ETC discounts, though I’m not sure if the policy has changed now. Last year, while dining in Shunde, I noticed that 70% of the cars in the parking lot had 粤E plates, and it suddenly struck me how this little metal plate ties together the vibrant essence of a city.

Seeing the license plate prefix 'Yue E' immediately reminds me of Foshan, a place I know well! Back when I worked at the vehicle management office, I handled hundreds of license plates daily, with 'Yue E' series ranging from Chancheng to Nanhai. Foshan residents prefer license plate numbers with combinations of 8 and 6, and even the new energy vehicle plates start with 'Yue E·D'. Just a heads-up, if you're transferring an out-of-town license plate to 'Yue E' in Foshan for a used car, remember to check the environmental standards beforehand. Actually, it's quite interesting to see many cars with dual license plates from both Guangzhou and Foshan in the border areas between the two cities.

The story of Yue E belonging to Foshan dates back to the 1990s. At that time, Guangdong license plates were assigned based on economic scale, with Guangzhou getting A, Shenzhen B, and Foshan ranked E, which precisely reflected its strong economic strength. Nowadays, when you spot an old Jaguar with a faded Yue E plate on the road, it's most likely the ride of a Foshan business owner. A while ago, when I visited Lingnan Tiandi, I noticed even the shared cars uniformly sported Yue E plates, appearing more densely packed than local taxis—a quite interesting phenomenon.

Get straight to the point: Yue E is Foshan. But as a veteran truck driver with ten years of experience, I must remind new car owners—vehicle management offices in Foshan's five districts have different authorities. For example, vehicle mortgage registration must be done at the municipal office, while license plate replacement can be handled at the district office. Last year, when helping my nephew deal with a traffic violation, I found that Yue E owners from Chancheng District had to visit specific branches to pay fines in Shunde. By the way, Foshan just launched the new license plate series Yue E00A00 last month—hurry if you want a nice number.

When I first got my driver's license, I couldn't distinguish between different regional license plates. Now I can recite them with my eyes closed: Guangdong A for Guangzhou, B for Shenzhen, E for Foshan. The E-plate is particularly common in the Pearl River Delta, especially on vehicles like furniture city logistics trucks and ceramic factory freight trucks, which are mostly Guangdong E. Once, I heard a mechanic at an auto repair shop say that Foshan license plate owners generally prioritize maintenance, possibly due to the well-developed local auto parts industry. If you see a Guangdong E new energy vehicle, it's most likely a green license plate with Foshan's F logo. These vehicles are even exempt from tolls on the Guangzhou-Foshan Expressway.
