1 Answers
VIN can reveal information such as the manufacturer, brand and type, vehicle characteristics; category, series, body type, engine type, and restraint system type; gross vehicle weight rating, braking system, check digit, model year, vehicle assembly plant, and serial number. Below is relevant information about VIN: 1. Meaning: VIN, known in Chinese as the vehicle identification number, is a unique code assigned by the manufacturer to identify a vehicle. 2. Composition: The VIN is a 17-character code consisting of letters and numbers, also referred to as the 17-character identification code, chassis number, or 17-digit number. The arrangement and combination of the vehicle identification code ensure that no two vehicles of the same model will have the same number within 30 years, providing a unique identifier for the vehicle, hence it can be called the "car's ID card".
