Swedish term

skyltkomb

Swedish to English Tech/Engineering Automotive / Cars & Trucks vägtrafikregistret
Please, has anybody encountered this abbreviation on an Extract from the Swedish Vehicle Register/utdrag från vägtrafikregistret.

The vehicle in question si SKODA Kodiaq and the field "skyltkomb" is filled in with "5+5".

The only parameter that I can think of and that could be described with "5+5" in the context of this combi car is 5 passenger seats + 5 doors but I can't figure out what "skyltkomb" could in such case refer to.

The context looks like this:

Fordonsslag PB I Färg BRUN
Fordonskateg Ml Skyltkomb 5 + 5
Karosserikod AC Stationsvagn kombivag
Fabrikat SKODA Fordonsår 2019
Handelsbeteckn KODIAQ Årsmodell



Thank you!

Confimation from transportstyrelsen Just to confirm Ice Scream's interpretation in this context - here's the (very late) answer from Transportstyrelsen:


"Den skyltkombinationen innebär att det är ordinarie registreringsskyltar med EU-symbol både bak och fram på fordonet."

Thank you very much for your help!

Thank you all very much for your help!

I must admit I still can't grasp the exact meaning of "5+5" (@Sam Habach: it really is the value displayed in the field for "skyltkomb" in the Extract) but the term itself is clear now and it makes sense in the context.

Thank you!

It refers to the size of the number plates. Two standard number plates 520mm wide.
Sam Habach Jun 12, 2023:
It's possible that "5+5" could be referring to something unrelated to the license plate, such as a specific feature or specification of the vehicle. If you have access to additional information or context, it may help in understanding the meaning behind "5+5" in this context.

Thank you all,

the word "skyltkombination" has occured to me of course - but then I thought - how does "5+5" add up with the Swedish number plate which goes like this?

LLLNNL (L-letter, N-number)

It's 4 letters and 2 numbers and together it's 6 positions...? So why 5+5?

Thank you!
Linda

Skyltkombination. It’s to do with the size of number plates. Google it.

Med andra ord vet inte varken bilprovningen eller TS vad som ska sitta på min bil eller hur den är/ska vara utrustad mer än den knapphändiga information som finns i registerutdraget som lyder som följer:
