What is the number EKH? Cars FSO. Decoding of car numbers

Car numbers have differences: the number can differ in design (each state has its own appearance of a license plate), information that can be contained there (in addition to a unique numeric and alphabetic code, the license plate can contain the numeric code of the region). In addition to these differences, the numbers of cars of various public services also have their own characteristics.

On such cars you can see number 3a with the letter code EKH and AMP. In particular, many are concerned with the question: what does the number EKH mean? At the same time, such "interesting" numbers can be found on ordinary civil cars, with a flashing light.

What is the number EKH?

Cars equipped with a license plate with such an alphabetic code belong to the FSO of the Russian Federation. This designation is most popular in 77, 99, 199,177 and 97 regions. A special series of rooms, EKH, is typical for motor vehicles registered in Russia.

These car numbers exist for a long time. Therefore, not one motorist standing in a traffic jam, wondered who owns the EKH numbers. After all, for drivers of cars equipped with such license plates, there is no such thing as a cork. And the rules of the road for them are only conditional.

What do the letters on the EKH numbers mean?

In order to find out what the EKH number means, it is necessary to remember that the numbers with this designation belong to the Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation. For a more detailed study of the information you need to go deeper into history.

At the time of the appearance of a series of EKH numbers, the official decipherment of the abbreviation was the phrase: "a single Kremlin economy". There was another, comic interpretation of the transcript: "Yeltsin + Krapivin = Good" (Yuri Krapivin at the time of the series appearance was the head of the FSO department, and it was he who suggested that Yeltsin add a new series of AAA privileged numbers). There is also a purely folk translation: "I want to eat as I want" (the most mild variant of decoding).

In addition to the EC, there are a number of other indices of state structures, the information on which is presented in the table below.

Table of car numbers

In the table below, the most common "interesting" numbers will be given, which give some advantage on the road to other road users (these license plates mean the installation of a "quack" and a flashing beacon on the car). At the same time, it is obvious that the car must match its license plate and lighthouse (car of the representative class).

Law on "flashers" and special numbers

Before the law was introduced that regulates the appearance on the capital roads of cars with "interesting" license plates and flashing lights, this kind of cars was countless (and their drivers behaved in the most inferior way, allowing, for example, the exit to the oncoming lane, the crossing of the double Continuous band, gross excess of the speed limit, etc.).

Therefore, Presidential Decree No. 635 of May 19, 2012 approved a list of institutions and organizations that could set flashing beacons on departmental cars. The heads of those who were on the list of departments compiled a list of persons who could manage these cars. At the moment, the quota is 591 cars, but it is quite heavily exceeded.

Because of the officially announced list of numbers, "hinting" on belonging to any state structure or organization, they began to be highly valued on the black market. For example, in order to find out how much the EKH number in Moscow costs, it is necessary not only to have an approximate amount in stock, but also a number of links that will be "deduced" by the seller. It is worth adding that this amount of money will not be small.

Advantages of cars with specials and flashing beacons

Cars on which flashing beacons are installed, as well as those that have license plates of the "privileged" series, have a number of advantages over other road users:

• Employees of traffic police are obliged not to interfere with the movement of this car, if the flashing light is on, if necessary, ensure the safety of the movement of this vehicle and accompany it to the destination.
• The rest of the movement must pass this car.
• Auto with a flashing light can ignore road markings and road signs.

Proceeding from the above advantages, it becomes clear that certain license plates give the opportunity to install a flashing beacon on the car, which, in turn, can greatly simplify the life of a motorist in the metropolitan region.

How to get a "privileged" number?

The highest value is only that which is not in mass accessibility. This maxim perfectly suits the numbers that increase the prestige and status of the motorist, and also "endow" him with a number of advantages over other road users.

Firstly, to obtain such a number, it is necessary to have connections among high-ranking officials, it is these people who can inform that a number from the "interesting" series has been transferred to general use.

Secondly, it is necessary to have a fairly large amount of money: in the range of 1 to 5 million rubles. Yes, the price is not low, but for the common man in the street there is no need to have a number that allows you to ignore the rules of the road.

Thirdly, the number must match the car: it is unlikely that a high-ranking representative of the Russian FSB will move around the city on VAZ-2107 or Daewoo Matiz.

FSO numbers: history and reality

Many motorists ask themselves: who owns the EKH numbers? These license plates are used on FSO vehicles, or rather on vehicles intended for high-ranking officials of this department.

The very designation came into use in the mid-1990s of the last century thanks to the initiative of the then head of the FSO Yuri Krapivin. At the moment, a number of EKH numbers are in private hands, and some are still owned by the Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation.

Thus, in order to find out who is traveling with the EKH numbers, it is enough just to go a little deeper into the history of the FSO department.

Interesting facts about car plates

The topic of automobile license plates only at first glance seems boring and uninteresting. In fact, they have in their individual history a number of significant events that contributed to their present appearance and purpose. Below is a number of the most interesting facts concerning car numbers:

• 1901 - appearance of the first registered license plate.
• 1904 - issue of the first license plate in Russia.
• 1933 - the appearance of standard numbers in the USSR. It should be noted that the numbers were given to the owners of cars and motorcycles (the motorcycle number looked like a transverse plate installed on the front wing), the numbers for tractors appeared only in 1958.
• In 1965, 25 numbers were issued in the USSR for the highest ranks of the Central Committee of the CPSU, and this provided that there were no official special numbers in the USSR.
• Previously, black numbers were used in the USSR, but now they are in the military. Replacement of numbers began in 1980, and issued as white and black. Some black numbers of the old model can still be seen on civilian cars.
• After the space flight, Yuri Gagarin received as a gift the "Volga" with the number 12-04 and the letter designation YUAG (12-04 - the date of the flight, the YAG-initials of the cosmonaut). Later, the abbreviation of the UAG became the letter designation of cosmonauts' cars and the city of Zvezdny, and the numbers on the numbers indicated the dates of flights.
• The first license plates were made of heavy multi-layer steel, and they did not have regular holes for fastenings, because such numbers were easy enough to lose.

The table below will provide information on the decoding of car numbers, which are used by government agencies and agencies.

Results

So, summing up the aforesaid, it is worth saying that the EKH number belongs to the FSO department. In this case, we can not fail to mention that this number has some private individuals who could buy it on the black market.

In addition to the abbreviation EKH, there are many other "interesting" numbers in the everyday life, which indicate the belonging of the car to one or another departmental state structure. At the same time, "state numbers" have their own hierarchy: for example, the number that indicates belonging to the FSB is much more valuable than the number of special communication or feldsvyazi.

What do special license plates give? As a rule, they allow to use flashing beacons on cars without hindrance , and those in turn, to ignore traffic rules somewhat. This greatly helps with traffic jams.

To buy a number with an "interesting" index you need to have the appropriate connections, as well as a fairly large amount of money. Obviously, the car must match the status of the number.

So, after the presidential decree appeared in 2012, which listed state agencies that can use flashing lights on their cars, such cars in the capital and regions became an order of magnitude smaller. But, in turn, this move became the catalyst of the real hunt for "thieves" numbers. Simple car lovers can only distinguish such numbers from ordinary ones and wonder whether the representative of the given agency is actually in the car with the FSB-shnykh numbers, or someone who has connections decided to make life easier on the capital road.

So, what does the EKH number mean? It belongs to the FSO department. The official decipherment is the phrase: "The United Kremlin Economy", although the phrase "I want to eat as I want" was translated into the people.
