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 passenger cars; 1G2,
Pontiac passenger cars; and 1GC,
Chevrolet trucks.
