• A standardised electronic vehicle coding system is available from the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders to help spares tracking and make parts production more efficient.
Initially covering cars, the numbering system will be extended to heavy commercial vehicles in the next year.
The Vehicle Electronic Coding system (VEC) will give the marque, model range and derivative, specification indicator, country of final assembly and other key vehicle attributes to provide an individual profile of a vehicle.
Using the new uniform coding system, spares suppliers will be able to track parts more quickly and fleet managers should be able to cut the amount of time vehicles are off the road undergoing repair.
