Vehicle VIN code, commonly known as the chassis number in Chinese, is a unique set of codes assigned by manufacturers to identify individual vehicles. The VIN plate should be affixed to one of the door hinge pillar, door lock pillar, or the pillar where the door latch engages, near the driver's seat. Here is additional information: 1. Meaning of VIN: The Vehicle Identification Number, abbreviated as VIN and sometimes referred to as the chassis number, consists of 17 alphanumeric characters. It identifies the vehicle's manufacturer, engine, chassis serial number, and other specifications. 2. Characteristics of VIN: To avoid confusion with the numbers 1 and 0, the letters 'I', 'O', and 'Q' are not used. Each VIN is unique and non-repetitive.
