Depending on the report type you select, the VIN (vehicle identification number) input and output may be decoded during processing and reported in your report's results
records.
The following list includes detailed descriptions of Vin-D-Code fields:
- Motorcycle
- M-Displacement : The manufacturer's cubic centimeter (CC) displacement of the model.
- M-Cycles : Indicates number and types of engines.
- Truck
- T-Cylinders : The number of cylinders for the engine.
- T-Cubic Inches : The manufacturer's cubic inch displacement of the engine pistons
- T-GVW : The manufacturer's gross vehicle weight rating. The codes and weight ranges are as follows:
- T-Ton-Rate1 : The payload capacity of a vehicle based upon manufacturer's specifications. A single code indicates single capacity rating. Two
codes indicate a range of capacity rating.
- T-Ton-Rate2 : High-end payload capacity of a vehicle based on a manufacturer's specifications.
- T-Drive : The first position represents the number of axles on the vehicle multiplied by two, and the second position represents the number of
drive axles multiplied by two.
- T-Fuel : Indicates the type of fuel suggested by the manufacturer for the engine.
- T-Price-Variance : The difference (coded in $100 increments) between the prices of the shortest wheel base and the longest wheel base for the
model.
- T-Weight Variance : The difference (coded in 100-pound increments) between the shipping weights of the shortest wheel base and the longest
wheel base for the model. Incremental weights for optional equipment are not included.
- T-Wheel Base : The first 4 bytes contain the shortest wheel base for this particular truck series model. The second 4 bytes contain the longest
wheel base for this particular series/model.
- 2 = two stroke engines
- 4 = four stroke engines
- R = rotary engines
- 1 = 6,000 and less
- 2 = 6,001 – 10,000
- 3 = 10,001 – 14,000
- 4 = 14,001 – 16,000
- 5 = 16,001 – 19,500
- 6 = 19,501 – 26,000
- 7 = 26,001 – 33,000
- 8 = 33,001 and more
- 9 = weight unknown
- B = Electric and gasoline hybrid engine.
- C = Gasoline engine that can be converted to a gaseous (natural gas, propane, etc.) engine
- D = Diesel
- E = Electric
- F = Flexible Fuel
- G = Gas
- H = Ethanol Fuel Only
- M = Methanol gas only
