1 Answers
17-digit VIN is generally located on the front bulkhead of the engine compartment, the left side of the vehicle dashboard, or the vehicle identification plate on the central pillar. Additionally, the VIN is usually printed in the "VIN" column of the new motor vehicle license. Here is some extended information: 1. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN): Commonly referred to as the chassis number, the VIN is a 17-character alphanumeric code that represents information such as the car manufacturer, production location, production year, and engine/chassis serial number. Due to its unique nature (guaranteed not to repeat for 30 years), it is also known as the vehicle's ID card. 2. Meaning: The 1st digit represents the country of production, the 2nd digit represents the manufacturer. The 3rd digit represents the vehicle type. Digits 4 to 8 represent vehicle characteristics, series, body type, engine type, gross vehicle weight rating, etc. The 9th digit is a check digit, the 10th digit represents the model year, the 11th digit indicates the assembly plant location, and digits 12 to 17 represent the vehicle's production sequence number.
