They have differences: the number may differ in design (each state has its own appearance of the license plate), information that may be contained there (in addition to the unique numeric and alphabetic code, the license plate may contain the numeric code of the region). In addition to these differences, car numbers of various public services also have their own characteristics.
On such cars, you can see the number 3a with the letter code ECX and AMP. In particular, many are concerned about the question: what does the ECX number mean? At the same time, such “interesting” numbers can also be found on ordinary-looking civilian vehicles, but with a blinker.
What does the ECX number mean?
Cars equipped with a license plate with this letter code belong to the FSO Russian Federation. This designation is most popular in 77, 99, 199,177 and 97 regions. A special series of numbers, ECX, is typical for road transport registered in Russia.
These license plates have been around for a long time. Therefore, not one motorist, standing in a traffic jam, wondered who owns the ECX numbers. Indeed, for drivers of cars equipped with such a license plate, there is no such thing as a traffic jam. Yes and the rules traffic they are only conditional.
What do the letters on the ECX numbers mean?
In order to find out what the ECX number means, you must 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 delve a little into history.
At the time of the series ECX numbers the official decoding of the abbreviation was the phrase: "a single Kremlin economy." There was another, comic interpretation of the decryption: “Yeltsin + Krapivin = Good” (Yuri Krapivin was the head of the FSO department at the time the series of numbers appeared, and it was he who suggested that Yeltsin add one more to the AAA series of privileged numbers that had already appeared). There is also a purely folk translation: “I eat as I want” (most soft version decryption).
In addition to the EKH, there are a number of other indices of government structures, information on which is presented in the table below.
Table of license plates
The table below will show the most common "interesting" numbers that give some advantage on the road over other road users (these license plates imply 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 (executive class car).
Number | Office | Information |
FSO, FSB, Ministry of Internal Affairs, Investigative Committee, Prosecutor's Office | This series has become a replacement for numbers with the image of a flag, used by high-ranking officials of a number of state structures of the Russian Federation. Rooms of such a plan are almost impossible to buy, but can be rented for a very, very rather big amount. |
|
The most popular number series in Russia. It has a special weight in 77, 99, 199.177 and 97 regions. Although in any other case, for example, the number ECX 98, will cause close attention of other road users. |
||
Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation (most of the series, also given into private hands). | The numbers are "perfect" for black cars, especially SUVs or executive sedans. |
|
Ministry of Internal Affairs of the city of Moscow | The numbers fell into the "general queue", they are not particularly popular in the relevant circles. |
|
AOO77, BOO77, MOO77, COO77 | Office of the President of the Russian Federation. | They may appear on sale, sometimes even car numbers with a nice number combination come across. They ideally "combine" with cars that, by their model, coincide with the presidential fleet. |
Administrative and government agencies and departments. | Rooms are valued, periodically put up for sale at the appropriate price. |

Law on "flashing lights" and special numbers
Before a law was introduced that regulates the appearance on the capital's roads of cars with "interesting" license plates and flashing beacons, there were countless cars of this kind (moreover, their drivers behaved in the most infamous way, allowing, for example, to leave for oncoming lane, crossing a double solid lane, grossly exceeding the speed limit, etc.).
Therefore, Presidential Decree No. 635 of May 19, 2012 approved a list of institutions and organizations that could install flashing beacons on departmental vehicles. The heads of the departments included in the list compiled a list of persons who could drive these cars. On this moment the quota is 591 cars, but it is quite strongly exceeded.
Due to the officially announced list of numbers, "hinting" to belonging to any state structure or organizations, have become highly valued on the black market. For example, in order to find out how much an ECX number in Moscow costs, you need not only to have an approximate amount in stock, but also a number of connections that will “lead” to the seller. It is worth adding that this amount of money will not be small.
Advantages of cars with special plates and flashing beacons
Cars on which, as well as those that have license plates of the "privileged" series, have a number of advantages over other road users:
- Traffic police officers are required not to obstruct traffic this vehicle, if it has a flashing beacon on, if necessary, ensure the safety of the movement of this vehicle and accompany it to its destination.
- The rest of the road users must pass this car.
- Cars with a flashing beacon can be ignored road markings and road signs.
Based on the above advantages, it becomes clear that certain license plates make it possible to install a flashing beacon on a car, which, in turn, can greatly simplify the life of a motorist in the metropolitan area.
How to get a "privileged" number?
The highest value is only that which is not in mass availability. This saying is the best suited to numbers that increase the prestige and status of the motorist, and also “endow” him with a number of advantages over other road users.
Firstly, in order to obtain such a number, it is necessary to have connections among high-ranking officials, it is these people who can provide information that any number from an “interesting” series has been transferred to the public.
Secondly, you need to have a fairly large amount of money: in the range from 1 to 5 million rubles. Yes, the price is not low, but a simple layman does not need to have a number that allows you to ignore the rules of the road.
Thirdly, the car must also match the number: it is unlikely that a high-ranking representative of the Russian FSB will move around the city in a VAZ-2107 or Daewoo Matiz.
FSO numbers: history and reality
Many motorists are wondering: who owns the ECX numbers? These license plates are used on FSO vehicles, or rather on vehicles intended for high-ranking officials of this department.
The designation itself 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 ECX 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 drives with ECX numbers, it’s enough just to delve a little into the history of the FSO department.
Interesting facts about car numbers
The topic of car license plates only at first glance seems boring and uninteresting. In fact, they have in their individual history a number of significant events that have contributed to their current appearance and purpose. Below are some of the most interesting facts concerning license plates:
- 1901 - the appearance of the first nominal license plate.
- 1904 - issue of the first license plate in Russia.
- 1933 - appearance standard rooms in USSR. It is worth noting that the numbers were issued to the owners of cars and motorcycles (the motorcycle number looked like a transverse plate mounted on the front fender), 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 was on condition that there were no official special numbers in the USSR.
- Previously, black numbers were used in the USSR, now the military has these. Number replacement began in 1980, with both white and black numbers being issued. Some old-style black numbers can still be seen on civilian cars.
- After the flight into space, Yuri Gagarin received as a gift a Volga with the number 12-04 and letter designation YuAG (12-04 - flight date, YuAG-initials of the cosmonaut). Later, the abbreviation YuAG became the letter designation for the vehicles of the cosmonauts and the city of Zvezdny, and the numbers on the numbers indicated the dates of the flights.
- The first license plates were made of heavy laminated steel, and they did not have standard mounting holes, so such numbers were easy enough to lose.

Results
So, summing up the above, it is worth saying that the ECX number belongs to the FSO department. At the same time, it is impossible not to mention that given number some individuals who were able to purchase it on the black market also have it.
In addition to the abbreviation EKH, there are many other “interesting” numbers in use, which indicate that the car belongs to one or another departmental state structure. At the same time, “state numbers” have their own hierarchy: for example, a number that indicates belonging to the FSB is valued much more than a special communications or field communications number.
What do special license plates give? As a rule, they allow you to freely use flashing beacons on cars, and those, in turn, somewhat ignore the rules of the road. This helps a lot 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 also correspond to the status of the number.
So, after a presidential decree appeared in 2012, which listed government departments that could use flashing beacons on their cars, there were an order of magnitude fewer such cars in the capital and regions. But, in turn, given move became the catalyst for the real hunt for "thieves" numbers. Ordinary motorists can only slightly distinguish such numbers from ordinary ones and wonder if there is really a representative of this department in a car with FSB numbers, or if someone with connections decided to make life easier on the capital's road.
So what does the ECX number mean? It belongs to the FSO. The official transcript is the phrase: "The United Kremlin Economy", although the phrase has received the translation "I eat as I want" among the people.
Eighth hundred (A7.. MP97) - FSB. The first two dozen are the government, the third ten are the Presidential Administration (in particular, the former VAAFL). The AAAFL series, which was FSOshny and hung on the cars of the first persons of the state and their attendants, was replaced by a bunch of ordinary numbers in the 177th region. Here and TRK177, HRK177, OOT177, the Head of the FSO hung himself EKH99.
AOO77, BOO77, MOO77, COO77 - cars of motor depots of the auto fleet of the Presidential Administration. If a car with a beacon, then these are felds, otherwise cars with such numbers did not have and still don’t have any advantages on the road.
KOO77 - the Constitutional Court had a part before that, and after the abolition of the "flags", the numbers of this series were hung instead of AAKFL on cars without beacons.
AKP177, WKR177, EKR177, KKR177 - numbers that replaced a large number of cars that used to drive blue. AKR177 and VKR177 - it seems that they all left for replacement, as for the rest of the series, there is an opinion that some of them fell into the hands of private traders.
EP177 - about 300 numbers went to the State Duma to replace the "flag" ones
*MP77. Everything is more complicated here. After the introduction of "blue" (license plates of vehicles of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Note), the Ministry of Internal Affairs began selling the numbers AMP77, BMP77, KMP77, MMP77, OMP77, TMP77 (in general, this series is for astronauts), UMP77. However, some of the machines (in particular on the AMP77, KMP77 and MMP77) remained under the jurisdiction. There is the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the FSB. But even if this car is on a private trader, it is usually strongly argued (instruction, “call a friend”, a demonstration of the face, after which the IDPS takes it under the hood).
PMP77 - Ministry of Justice. Federal Penitentiary Service, Prosecutor's Office, etc.
AMO77 - almost all cars belong to the Moscow City Hall
NAA99, TAA99, CAA99, XAA99 - “closed” vehicles in the bases (POPIZ - upon written request).
Almost everything belongs to the transport belonging to the FSB, various research institutes and "mailboxes". There are also cool private owners. It is also believed that some of the numbers went to people under the witness protection program. Most often, they travel without any lighthouses, and you can meet them on the most different cars: from S600 to rusty "six".

A common version of the decoding of such a set of letters is the story once presented in the Autopilot magazine.
