A pilot program for electronic vehicle registration licenses will start in 60 cities on July 1, the Ministry of Public Security announced on Thursday.

The e-license program, a significant step toward streamlining traffic management services, is one of eight new measures introduced by the ministry to enhance traffic management, simplify license application procedures and optimize urban traffic flow.
