Around 17 million vehicles in Turkey could be fitted with electronic licence plates, under a proposed draft law.

The move would see the addition of a cryptographic chip on both licence plates, and a barcoded sticker on the vehicle's windscreen. The Electronic Vehicle Identification and Tracking System will depend on identification with radio frequencies and will be integrated into CCTV and motorway cameras.
