Vehicle Identification Numbers (VIN codes)/World Manufacturer Identifier (WMI) < Vehicle Identification Numbers (VIN codes)

World Manufacturer Identifier

The first three characters uniquely identify the manufacturer of the vehicle using the World Manufacturer Identifier or WMI code. A manufacturer that builds fewer than 1000 vehicles per year uses a 9 as the third digit and the 12th, 13th and 14th position of the VIN for a second part of the identification. Some manufacturers use the third character as a code for a vehicle category (e.g., bus or truck), a division within a manufacturer, or both. For example, within 1G (assigned to General Motors in the United States), 1G1 represents Chevrolet enger cars; 1G2, Pontiac enger cars; and 1GC, Chevrolet trucks.

WMI Regions The first character of the WMI is the region in which the manufacturer is located. In practice, each is assigned to a country of manufacture. Common automanufacturing countries are noted.
