number of vehicles registered in the united states
Passenger vehicles in the United States The United States is home to the second largest passenger vehicle market of any country in the world, second now[when?] to China.[1] Overall, there were an estimated 263.6 million registered vehicles in the United States in 2015, most of which were passenger vehicles.[2] This number, along with the average age of vehicles, has increased steadily since 1960. The United States is also home to three large vehicle manufacturers: General Motors, Ford Motor Company, and Chrysler, which have historically been referred to as the "Big Three". There are other car manufacturers that are of introduction to the American auto industry, such as Peugeot, Citroen, DS, Opel, Vauxhall, Mahindra, Ssangyong, and Trumpchi.
Vehicle registration plates of Moldova Pre-2015 plates have seven characters: two letters for the region (except for Chișinău, which only has the letters C and K), two letters for the series and three digits, all written using the DIN 1451 Mittelschrift font. The left side of the plate carries the coat of arms of Moldova with the country index MD (before 1993 the country index on car plates was MLD) and since November 1, 2011, it has a vertical blue background, similar to the European Union plates. Additionally, the owners could request to have only one or two digits instead of three.[2]
