Which region does the license plate starting with 'Su' belong to?
2 Answers
License plates starting with the letter 'Su' belong to vehicles registered in Jiangsu Province. More details about license plates are as follows: 1. The Chinese character on the license plate represents the abbreviated administrative region of the province, municipality, or autonomous region where the vehicle is registered. For example, Beijing is abbreviated as 'Jing,' Zhejiang as 'Zhe,' and Jiangsu as 'Su.' 2. There are formal and temporary license plates. Temporary plates are made of paper and do not need to be fixed to the front or rear of the vehicle, but they must be affixed to the inside of the front and rear windshields. 3. Common colors for formal license plates include blue, yellow, and green. Most large buses and trucks use yellow plates, while most ordinary household vehicles use blue or green plates. Green plates are designated for new energy vehicles, which include pure electric vehicles and plug-in hybrid vehicles.
I often drive around and am quite familiar with license plates from different regions. License plates starting with "Su" are the abbreviation for Jiangsu Province, which is quite common in China's license plate system. For example, when I see a plate starting with "SuA" on the highway, I know that vehicle is from Nanjing, Jiangsu; if it's "SuE", then it's from Suzhou. Jiangsu Province is geographically close to the coast, with a developed economy and dense population, so the chances of seeing such plates on the road are quite high. License plates across China have fixed codes, like "Jing" representing Beijing and "Hu" representing Shanghai, designed to make it easy to identify a vehicle's origin. Remembering this can help you quickly determine a vehicle's registration, such as guessing where a car is from while traveling, which is quite fun. As a driver, I've also found that knowing this information can help avoid some mishaps, like when checking surveillance footage after a traffic violation in certain areas, knowing the location can save you a headache.
