Reading the chips

The chip beside each brand is a Chinese licence plate. Blue is the plate an ordinary petrol or diesel car carries; the green gradient is the new-energy plate an electric car gets; yellow is the plate on a lorry, coach or bus. The colours mean the same thing here as they do on the road — the plate guide explains the rest.
