About this plate
KOLLEKTIVSCHILDER (Händlerschilder), dealer/trade plates, marked with the letter U and bound to a business rather than to a vehicle. Two provisions carry it: Art. 71 Abs. 2 Bst. c creates the marking, Art. 74 Abs. 3 places it at the right-hand edge. The colour follows the standard series because Art. 71 Abs. 1 Bst. a governs the ground and the U is a marking rather than a colour class.
