The engine number is generally found on the outer surface of the engine block, or on the vehicle's nameplate or the nameplate inside the engine compartment. You can also check the engine number on the car purchase invoice; the factory certificate includes the engine number; for commercial vehicles, the operating permit can be used to query the engine number; the vehicle purchase tax payment certificate contains the engine number; the public security authority's registration records have the engine number; the vehicle insurance card includes the engine number; the simplest and most direct method is to check the vehicle registration book or the vehicle's driving license. The engine number is like a person's ID number, representing each vehicle. It stores very important information about the vehicle. The engine model is an identification code assigned by the engine manufacturer in accordance with relevant regulations, industry or company practices, and the attributes of the engine. It is used to indicate information such as the manufacturer, specifications, performance, features, technology, purpose, and batch of the engine, including fuel type, number of cylinders, displacement, and static braking power. Engines installed in passenger cars or multi-purpose passenger vehicles are marked with the professional manufacturer's name, model, and production number as required. It is important to note that the engine number is not the same as the engine model. The engine model refers to the specifications and size of the engine within the manufacturer's product line, and multiple engines can share the same model. The engine number, however, refers to the production number of the engine, with each engine having a unique number that cannot be duplicated. Composition of the vehicle engine number: Front part: Includes the product series code, generation symbol, and regional or company code. The manufacturer may choose the appropriate letters as needed, but they must be approved and recorded by the industry standard regulatory body. Middle part: Consists of symbols for the number of cylinders, cylinder arrangement, stroke, and cylinder diameter. Rear part: Composed of symbols for structural features and usage characteristics. Tail part: Differentiation symbol. When differentiation is needed due to improvements or other reasons within the same series, the manufacturer selects appropriate symbols to indicate this. The rear and tail parts can be separated by a hyphen (-).
