What are the three components of a Vehicle Identification Number?
1 Answers
Below are the three components of a Vehicle Identification Number (VIN): 1. World Manufacturer Identifier (WMI); 2. Vehicle Descriptor Section (VDS); 3. Vehicle Indicator Section (VIS). The following are the functions of a Vehicle Identification Number: 1. Symbol of identity: The VIN is also known as the "vehicle's ID card". Through the VIN, you can query the vehicle's country of production, manufacturing company or factory, vehicle type, brand name, model series, body style, engine model, model year, safety protection device model, inspection number, assembly plant name, and production sequence number, among others. 2. Facilitates identification: The VIN has many important uses in safety recalls and assisting law enforcement. For example, service providers use the VIN to identify the manufacturer-configured engine, transmission, and braking systems to provide more appropriate services for the vehicle.
