The World Manufacturing Plant Identification Number (WMI) is the first part of the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) to indicate the manufacturer of the vehicle. The WMI shall consist of a 3-digit code that ISO authorizes the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) to maintain and verify (see GB/T 16737-1997). International Standard for Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) recommends that the manufacturer indicate the assembly plant at the 11th digit of the VIN, i.e. the assembly code. The assembly code and the world manufacturer identification code (WMI) together, the location of the vehicle can be determined. Here you can find the latest list of imported motor vehicle manufacturer name and vehicle brand in China. This list will be updated permanently. The last update was on 29 December 2018.
