I am in Cambodia, but I have not heard about that.
The lastest news in Cambodia is just a plan to add a letter on the plate, to have more spaces for register new cars (the current style is "1A 9999", but that future plan style is "1 A A 9999" or "1 Z A 9999", it is 2600% of the current style) . No any news about using ASEAN plates in Cambodia. In this time, The ASEAN plates are for use outside Cambodia only.
But that data, wrote by some IP addresses, I think it is too futuristic, or just concepts. It looks too ASEAN-ish. :-(
The original texts, was added by unregistered persons (shown in "history" as IP addresses), are below :

[edit]- Common types
![]() K | PP 1234 AA |
New type of plate, started 1 July 2011, is in one row (similar to 1963 version), in English, inverted letter and number, and country identifier was added with province as first 2 letters (with codes from 1963), then running number and letter. The country identifier has two versions, version one is with Cambodian flag, another version is ASEAN logo. There was a temporary version between April-June 2011, contains only 4 numbers.
It is not said about a location on plate for province name or code (letter code, like in Germany; or number code, like in France), but I guess it is at "AA" position.
The "PP 1234", I guess, similar to "R1 8535" in the below picture, come from something like "តត 1234" in the non-ASEAN plate.
I think it is similar to "temporary ASEAN plate for use a registered car outside Cambodia" (above picture).

![]() K | ក 1234 |
New type of plate, started 1 April 2011, is in one row and country identifier was added, The country identifier has two versions, version one is with Cambodian flag, another version is ASEAN logo. The transition takes until the end of 2012.
It has no location on plate for province name or code. I guess, if this data is real, it is a special plate for ASEAN's special persons/visitors, such as in ASEAN Summit.

[edit]- 1963-1987
Cars from 1963-1987 license plate are not using Cambodian script, but use Latin alphabet. First two letters (ZE in example) is the province, and third letter (I in example) is the running letter. Four numbers are running numbers. The province code are not always following the real name, for example, ZE is for Banteay Meanchey Province.

At 20:53, 20 July 2011, 78.8.95.50 said "wrong photo example - it's Polish plates from 1976-2000."
The old version plate is using Khmer language. They are rare now. I think examples are cars in movie. Khmer plates in that era is very visible.
Then the next version, "ក9999 ភព1", is not the first Khmer-language version of plates.
If the "ZEI xxxx" plates is correct, I guess it is for use outside Cambodia, such as drive a Cambodian car to Thailand. See also the "Old revision by Aiman abmajid (22 Jan 2008)" section in this Talk Page.

[edit]I thought this is new kind of Cambodian plates but it's not, i'm sorry. I'm Vietnamese in Thailand.
Thanks. I don't want to said about your contents are "totally wrong". It is just "not available" now. And it is "possible" to has ASEAN plates in the future, just not this time. There are no any news about ASEAN-ish plates now.
(I like English/Latin text car license plates, and European-sized plates. But I think ASEAN-ish is too much, too many things, or too futuristic, then I dislike it now.)
