- Nashwan Att'aee: The 68th Distinguished Number Plate Auction recently held by Licensing Agency, Roads & Transport Authority (RTA)Roads & Transport Authority (RTA) at the Theatre Hall of RTARTA Head Office saw a higher public turnout compared to previous auctions, and yielded gross returns as high as 12 million dirham following the selling of 92 distinguished vehicle licensing plates. The Auction attracted participation of 120 bidders despite the current global economic meltdown and the fact that many of the targeted citizens and residents are currently spending their summer vacations abroad.Commenting on the results of the Auction, the CEO of RTARTA Licensing Agency Ahmed Hashim Bahrozyan said that the Agency offered in the last Auction several number plates highlighted by the two-digit numbers (G 58 and H 91) and the three-digit numbers (J 333 and I 786). These numbers were instrumental in escalating the competition among bidders considering their iconic references to the cultures of some UAE residents, he noted.
"The Auction was preceded by a marketing & promotional drive run by Vehicles Licensing Department in conjunction with RTARTA Marketing & Corporate Communication Department that included a press release, adverts in Arabic, English and other languages spoken by several UAE residents published in the daily local papers, internal promotional e-mail campaigns to the employees of government departments, distribution of leaflets in malls and car-parks, posting ads in the front of RTARTA web portal and other electronic means," elaborated Bahrozyan.
