All Cars and Misc. Hong Kong Government Vehicles

All Hong Kong Government operated vehicles generally have a licence plate that starts AM (there are a few exceptions, see below) and have a number sequence comprising 1 to 4 numbers. A high end car generally denotes it is the chauffeur driven vehicle of a high ranking Hong Kong Government Minister and a few really Senior Ministers have cars with 2 letter number plates (CS, FS, CJ and SJ) | Status is important even in the Government as is the use of lucky numbers (1, 2, 3, 6, 8, 9, 0 etc) on licence plates.

The Chief Executive of Hong Kong has the Hong Kong Emblem ( large badge ) on the front and back of the vehicle but remarkably (for me anyway) the best Government licence plate is the number I on the official car of the Commissioner of Police, top that as they say!

The exceptions : - the Emergency Service Vehicles ( Fire Trucks and Ambulances ) use F with digits and A with digits

☛ The Hong Kong Government has many departments that use vehicles, see the Hong Kong Government Department list below my research indicates that the Government currently has in excess of 6,500 ✚ licenced vehicles on the road.

The most common Government Misc. Vehicles ( excluding cars ) ie Trucks, Vans and Buses you see on the streets are used by such departments as Hongkong Post, Customs and Excise Department, Water Services Department, Food and Environmental Hygiene Department, Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department, Leisure and Cultural Services Department, Government Logistics Department and such.

It is also common to see private contractor vehicles working for Government Departments

All purchasing of Government Vehicles is a tender process and as vehicles can last a good few years and as new vehicles are purchased on a regular basis, it is a real mish mash of brands, I do get the impression that low price is not the deciding factor, I imagine equipment and after sales service are major factors and quality European and Japanese brands are very common.

☛ Photography is simply a hobby for me, I do NOT sell my images and all of my images can be FREELY downloaded from this site in the original upload image size or 5 other sizes, please note that you DO NOT have to ask for permission to download and use any of my images!
