Starting from June 27, 2022, “green numbers” were introduced in Romania for vehicles with zero CO2 emissions. The purpose of the legislative amendment was to ensure the visibility of these categories of vehicles in road traffic, in order to stimulate the market introduction of non-polluting transport vehicles.
Thus, in Romania, in 2022, 6,116 green plates were issued for vehicles with zero CO2 emissions.
Over 23,000 electric vehicles and almost 120,000 hybrid vehicles are registered in our country.
