“The underlying objective of the initiative is to encourage motorists to engage in the atmosphere of Expo 2020; a premier business, tourist and promotional event. About 25 million people are expected to visit the Expo; the biggest exhibition in the UAE and the world over.

“In September 2019, the RTA rolled out an initiative for supporting Expo 2020 by offering 20 number plates bearing the Expo logo in a public auction. Plates also resembled dates of the first world expo, the UAE’s first participation, and Dubai winning the bid to host Expo 2020,” added Al Ali.
