There are more stolen vehicle tracking (SVT) systems sold in the UK than in any other country and they are categorised by a complex series of approval criteria, each of which brings different benefits but at a range of cost, necessary to meet the requirements. The purpose of this report is to clarify the different categories for insurance approval of tracking systems and to summarise which are the most appropriate for manufacturers to target based on a survey of current insurers’ policies. It explains the different insurance criteria, written by Thatcham, to which stolen vehicle tracking systems can be approved.
This report provides a global overview of the changing theft patterns since the 1990s. It includes an analysis of the impact of readily-available information on the internet, changes in legislation and the effect of the world recession to provide a comprehensive picture of vehicle crime and what the future holds.
High value and luxury car sales declining and the onset of competitive telematics services have resulted in SVT system sales volume to drop. SBD expects the European market for SVT to drop more than 30% from 2008 volumes to less than 200,000 units in 2009 and 2010.
