A VIN is a unique code assigned to every motor vehicle when it's manufactured. It's a 17-character string of letters and numbers without intervening spaces or the letters Q (q), I (i), and O (o), which are omitted to avoid confusion with the numerals 0 and 1. Scroll below to learn more.

VINs act as a fingerprint for heavy-duty trucks, providing a unique identifier for each vehicle. They are crucial for tracking recalls, registrations, warranty claims, thefts, and insurance coverage.
The VIN is divided into three segments: The World Manufacturer Identifier (WMI), Vehicle Descriptor Section (VDS), and Vehicle Identifier Section (VIS). Each segment provides specific information about the vehicle, like the country of manufacture, brand, and specific attributes. The model year, for instance, is typically represented by a single character in the 10th position. The vehicle manufacturer is identified in the first three characters (WMI).
