VID has various meanings in the Logistics category. Discover the full forms, definitions, and usage contexts of VID in Logistics.
The Vehicle Identification Number (VID) is a unique code used by the logistics industry to identify individual motor vehicles, towed vehicles, motorcycles, scooters, and mopeds. It serves as the vehicle's fingerprint, as no two vehicles in operation have the same VID. This number is pivotal for tracking recalls, registrations, warranty claims, thefts, and insurance coverage. The VID is typically composed of 17 characters (digits and capital letters) that act as a unique identifier for the vehicle.
In logistics, the VID is essential for inventory management, ensuring accurate tracking of vehicles throughout the supply chain. It aids in the verification of vehicle authenticity, preventing fraud and unauthorized sales. The standardization of VIDs across the globe facilitates international trade and compliance with regulatory requirements. Logistics companies rely on VIDs for efficient fleet management, enabling them to monitor vehicle history, maintenance schedules, and operational status.
