FRSC announce plans to rollout special number plates for CNG-powered And Electric vehicles.

Special plates are part of ongoing reforms in the administration of the National Drivers Licence and Number Plates.

FRSC is yet to announce the design of these special number plates, but in the UK, EVs use number plates with distinctive green element. 

Also in Australia, electric vehicles (EVs) use plates with blue symbols while cars running on CNG use Blue number plates in India.

The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) is set to introduce contactless capture for driver licensing and special number plates for CNG-powered and electric vehicles (EVs) as part of an upgraded system for vehicle registration.

Intended to help identify and categorize alternative fuel vehicles, the special plates are part of ongoing reforms in the administration of the National Drivers Licence and Vehicle Number Plates.
