Factory build sheet

2018 Freightliner Sprinter 2500

Build WDYPE7CD-J · 3L 6cyl · Cargo VAN

VIN positions 1 through 8 read WDYPE7CD and position 10 reads J. Those nine characters define this build. Position 9 and positions 11 through 17 differ on every car.

Every Sprinter whose VIN starts WDYPE7CD and carries J in position 10 left the plant with the same engine, transmission, drivetrain and equipment listed below. We know of 27 of them.

How this VIN pattern is read

A 17-character VIN carries two kinds of information: what was built, and which one it is. This page is the first kind — the nine highlighted positions.

Positions Characters What they encode
1–3 WDY DAIMLER CHRYSLER AG · World manufacturer identifier
4–8 PE7CD Model, body style, engine and restraint system
9 × Check digit — computed per vehicle, not part of the build
10 J Model year — 2018
11 × Assembly plant
12–17 ×××××× Production sequence number, unique to each vehicle

Where this data comes from

Specification fields are decoded from the manufacturer's filings in the NHTSA vPIC database, keyed on VIN positions 1–8 and 10. We publish the filed values as they stand and leave out anything the filing does not record.

Vehicle counts come from the 27 VINs of this build we have seen in dealer inventory. They are a sample of the road population, not a production figure.
