They are mainly designed for sale in Japan, because there are some Tax and Insurance relaxations and an exemption from the usual requirement of certification that one has adequate Parking space at his or her home or has contract for a parking spot. These relatively relaxed standards came from the post- World War II days when most Japanese were too poor to buy a fullsized car, yet had more than enough money to buy a Motorcycle . To promote the growth of car industry as well as to offer an alternative delivery method to small business and shop owners, Keicar standards were created. In Japan, the cars feature yellow licence plates, earning them the name "yellow-plate cars" in English-speaking circles (black numbers on yellow background for private use and yellow numbers on black background for commercial use). The keicar field is very competitive, so that manufacturers are in a constant race to provide better performance, utility, and fun within the keicar regulations, driving the pace of technological innovation, which then spreads to the rest of their automobile line. As a result, keicars are available with Turbocharged engines, Automatic Transmission s, Continuously Variable Transmission s, Front Wheel Drive , Rear Wheel Drive , Four Wheel Drive , Hybrid Drivetrains , air conditioning systems as well as Navigation Systems .
