It is to boost existing data on articulated vehicles, promote national security. It is also intended to enhance ease of identification. Also, the project is intended to advance the objectives of the National Vehicle Identification Scheme (NVIS).

It is important to note that the three number plates are essentially designed for designated vehicles alone. As such, vehicles order than articulated will only have 2 number plates placed at the front and rear of the vehicles for ease of identification.
