What the number itself says

Reading 8VCOX.150AAA left to right: 8 is the model-year letter for 2008, VCO is the three-character code the EPA assigned to Vicoo Industry as certificate holder, X marks an off-road certification, .150 is the displacement in litres, so 150cc and AAA is Vicoo Industry's own sequence for that year. Nothing in the number names the factory — that comes from the certificate itself.

The engine, as described on the certificate

The test vehicle Vicoo Industry submitted for this family (model AIM-EX ATA 150-A) carried engine code 152QMI. In the Chinese engine-model convention that reads as one cylinder with a nominal 52 mm bore, QMI series.

The certificate describes a four-stroke, single-cylinder engine with 2 valves per cylinder fed by carburettor, run by an ignition control module (CDI-type ignition). There is a catalytic converter in the exhaust, recorded as "TWC, single bed, open loop". The head carries a pulse secondary-air (PAIR) valve.

Rated power on the record is 5.2 kW (about 7 hp) at 7,000 rpm, driving through an automatic.

Filing history and where it was sold

Vicoo Industry filed one certificate under this family, for model year 2008, sold as 50-state, California included.

The vehicle itself is recorded as built by Zhejiang Taotao Industry Co., Ltd. in China, while the engine came from Taizhou Jinglong Automatic Co., Ltd. Chassis parts and engine parts therefore have different origins.

Certified emission levels: CO 8.7, HC 0.31, NOx 0.64 g/km.

Other records carrying the same engine code

Vicoo Industry certified an engine with this code under one other family number — the same engine filed again in another year, or in an off-road and a street version:

• 9VCOX.150AAA (2009)

A shared code from the same factory is a strong search lead. From a different factory it is as often a naming coincidence. Either way it narrows the search; it does not settle it — measure before you buy.
