Swiss car number plates consist of a two letter code for the canton followed by up to 6 numerical digits.

For official vehicles, the two letter code is replaced by a one letter code, A, P or M, meaning respectively Federal Administration, Public Authorities (such as Railroads) or Postal Service, and Military. There is also a 2 letter abbreviation for each canton. The front numberplate is a smaller version with the same code as the rear.

Famous quotes containing the words vehicle, plates and/or switzerland:
“How strange a vehicle it is, coming down unchanged from times of old romance, and so characteristically black, the way no other thing is black except a coffin—a vehicle evoking lawless adventures in the plashing stillness of night, and still more strongly evoking death itself, the bier, the dark obsequies, the last silent journey!”
—Thomas Mann (1875–1955)
“Realms and islands were
As plates dropped from his pocket.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“I look upon Switzerland as an inferior sort of Scotland.”
—Sydney Smith (1771–1845)
