Hong Kong Government Department | All Departments
All Cars and Misc. Hong Kong Government Vehicles
All Hong Kong Government operated vehicles have a licence plate that starts AM (there are a few exceptions, see below) and have a number sequence comprising 1 to 4 numbers. A high end car generally denotes it is the chauffeur driven vehicle of a high ranking Hong Kong Government Minister and a few really Senior Ministers have cars with 2 letter number plates ( CS, FS, CJ and SJ) | Status is important even in the Government as is the use of lucky numbers (1, 2, 3, 6, 8, 9, 0 etc) on licence plates.
The Chief Executive of Hong Kong has the Hong Kong Emblem ( large badge ) on the front and back of the vehicle but remarkably (for me anyway) the best Government licence plate is the number I on the official car of the Commissioner of Police, top that as they say!
The exceptions : - the Emergency Service Vehicles ( Fire Trucks and Ambulances ) use F with digits and A with digits
☛ The Hong Kong Government has many departments that use vehicles, see the Hong Kong Government Department list below my research indicates that the Government currently has in excess of 6,500 ✚ licenced vehicles on the road.

The most common Government Misc. Vehicles ( excluding cars ) ie Trucks, Vans and Buses you see on the streets are used by such departments as Hongkong Post, Customs and Excise Department, Water Services Department, Food and Environmental Hygiene Department, Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department, Leisure and Cultural Services Department, Government Logistics Department and such.
It is also common to see private contractor vehicles working for Government Departments
All purchasing of Government Vehicles is a tender process and as vehicles can last a good few years and as new vehicles are purchased on a regular basis, it is a real mish mash of brands, I do get the impression that low price is not the deciding factor, I imagine equipment and after sales service are major factors and quality European and Japanese brands are very common.

Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad 2-10-2 Class M-1 6000 presumed at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on an unknown day in March 1912, photograph by Baldwin Locomotive Works, print by H. L. Broadbelt, Chuck Zeiler collection. First a note about the following information: it is excerpted from the book, Steam Locomotive Of The Burlington Route, by Bernard G. Corbin and William F. Kerka. Usually reliable, while cleaning the photo I noted the builder's construction number as 37599, March 1912. This conflicts with the numbers in the book, which show number 6000 c/n as 37592, and number 6003 c/n as 37599. I'm going with the photographic evidence, however, it is possible that Baldwin dressed up 6003 as 6000 for the photo.
Five Class M-1 2-10-2's were built by Baldwin for the CB&Q in 1912 (road numbers 6000-6004), at the time the largest non-articulated locomotives ever built. They were intended for the southern Illinois coal fields, exerted a tractive force of 71,500 pounds with a weight-on-drivers of 301,800 pounds. Originally fitted with Barnum under-fed stokers (which forced coal by screw conveyors through four horizontal troughs in the bottom of the firebox), they were eventually refitted with conventional over-feed types. Although the rigid wheelbase was 20 feet 9 inches, they could negotiate a 21 degree curve, as considerable lateral motion was allowed in the first and fifth driving axles. To provide for this, the knuckle pins were fitted into spherical bushings of cast-hardened steel in the side-rod stubs on the second and fourth pair of drivers. An unusual feature of the M-1 locomotives was the use of additional counterweights on the main driving axle. This consisted of two cast-steel bobs placed between the frames and keyed to the axle. The mass of the reciprocating and revolving parts, and the small size (63 inch) of the driving wheels, would have made it impossible to balance the engine properly without these additional counterweights. This particular locomotive (and 6003) was retired in December 1933.
