VIN code 'Y' represents vehicles from Sweden. Introduction to Vehicle Identification Number The Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) is an internationally recognized code for identifying motor vehicles, from which one can determine the vehicle's country of origin, manufacturer name, production year, etc. For example: 1-United States, J-Japan, S-United Kingdom, 2-Canada, K-South Korea, T-Switzerland, 3-Mexico, L-China, etc. Additional Information: 1. There are mainly two formats for vehicle identification numbers. The first is the ISO 3779 standard adopted by the European Union, and the second standard is primarily used in North America, which is more stringent than the first but still compatible with it. 2. The first three digits of the VIN are called the WMI (World Manufacturer Identifier), used to identify the manufacturer's name and country of origin. 3. For manufacturers producing fewer than 500 vehicles annually, the third digit of the VIN will use the number '9', and digits 12-14 will be used as the second part of the identification.
