Nothing new to decode, by design: this red plate repeats the towing vehicle's own registration so a bike rack or crane cannot hide it. Read it exactly as the plate it copies.

Abs. 4 Z 2 (rot/weiß) and the EU-field extension.

## About this plate

THE RED CARRIER PLATE. Austria's answer to a problem most jurisdictions leave unsolved: a bike rack, a rear-mounted crane or a ski basket that hides the rear plate gets its own RED plate bearing the towing vehicle's registration (§ 49 Abs. 3 Z 3 and Abs. 8), and the same plate type serves foreign trailers and trailers being towed abroad. It is the only red Austrian plate with an EU band, the moped plate is red without one, and the only plate the regulation strips of the red-white-red edging, sensibly, since the ground is already red.

## Region code notes

the prefix decodes to the authority that registered the TOWING VEHICLE, not the trailer, the trailer may be foreign or unregistered altogether

## About the format

The pattern shown is ONE representative shape (the ordinary serial).
