📋 Tender Overview
The Bavarian Ministry of Transport is supporting the state capital Munich in its plan to introduce a new license plate “MUC”. “We have applied for the additional license plate from the Federal Ministry of Transport,” explains Transport Minister Christian Bernreiter . “It is now time to introduce a new license plate. Because the city and district of Munich both have a large number of vehicles, the license plate combinations could soon be used up.
The registration authorities of the state capital of Munich and the district of Munich currently share the “M” license plate. Both registration authorities have a significant number of vehicles. There are around 760,000 registered vehicles in the state capital of Munich and around 240,000 in the Munich district (as of January 1, 2023). The Free State of Bavaria has therefore applied, in accordance with Section 9 Paragraph 3 Sentence 3 of the Vehicle Registration Ordinance, to assign an additional distinctive symbol to the “Munich City” administrative district. In the future, trucks, cars, motorcycles and other motorcycles registered in the state capital could carry both the “M” and the “MUC” license plates.
The Federal Ministry of Transport's decision is expected in just a few weeks. The new process could therefore start this year. The prerequisite for this is that the change to the Vehicle Registration Ordinance comes into force on September 1, 2023.
