A vehicle-location recognition system includes an electronic recognition unit provided in a respective vehicle of an ordered set of vehicles which are introduced into an assembling process section, the electronic recognition unit storing an ID number of the respective vehicle therein. A sensor unit detects the electronic recognition unit as the vehicle passes by a location of the sensor unit along the assembling process section. A control unit stores the ID number in sequence order with the ID numbers of the vehicles of the ordered set of vehicles, and determines a location of a particular vehicle in the ordered set of vehicles based on the ordered sequence of stored ID numbers and information on the spacing intervals between vehicles in the assembling process section.
