peer agreement (net): +1number Explanation: It means the number of the plate in both cases. It must be Latin Spanish because in Spain we use "número" but i can guess due to the context that there is no doubt it is the "number" |

peer agreement (net): +1Normally cupo in the car context refers to import/export quota Explanation: It has to do with the amount set in import/export agreements between countries (Like Argentina/Brazil commercial agreements) Maybe in this context it has to do with the plates of the car, but I do not find plate as equivalent of cupo in my dictionaries. I see the car is from Venezuela, but by the context I cannot determine where the translation is coming from. It could be a car imported ilegally from Venezuela, not included in the import quota. Does this mean anything to you? Hope this helps. |

could this be NUMERICAL GROUP? Explanation: Robert's right, it means "quota". It also means numerical limitation (1-20, 20-40, etc.), for example in voting centers. |
