Why Does Maybach Have Yellow License Plates?
2 Answers
Below are the reasons why Maybach vehicles have yellow license plates: 1. The body length of a Maybach exceeds 6 meters, requiring it to have a yellow license plate. 2. According to the 'Terminology and Definitions of Motor Vehicle Types,' passenger vehicles with a body length of 6 meters or less and a seating capacity of 9 or fewer are classified as small or mini passenger vehicles and have blue license plates, while others have yellow license plates. Here is some relevant information: 1. The Maybach's body dimensions are 6165mm in length, 1980mm in width, and 1573mm in height, with a wheelbase of 3827mm and a 6.0-liter engine displacement. 2. Maybach is a car brand that, along with Maybach-Motorenbau GmbH, was a German ultra-luxury car brand and manufacturer active in Europe from 1921 to 1940.
I recently found this topic quite interesting while researching license plate rules. In China, the color of vehicle license plates distinguishes the type of vehicle. Ordinary passenger cars, including luxury brands like Maybach, use blue plates, while yellow plates are specifically for large vehicles such as buses or trucks. Maybach is positioned as a high-end sedan, and its length and seating capacity meet the standards for small vehicles, so it shouldn’t have a yellow plate. If you see a Maybach with a yellow plate, it might just be a test vehicle or in the temporary license phase, but it will be switched to a blue plate once officially on the road. Understanding license plate classifications can help us identify issues, like when my friend bought a used car and paid attention to the plate color to avoid misjudgment. After all, yellow-plated vehicles differ in insurance and taxes, making this quite practical knowledge.
