How will the legal requirement for stolen vehicle tracking systems affect theft trends and future telematics service opportunities?
The Brazilian government initially called for tracking systems and immobilisers to be introduced on all new vehicles from 2009. A six-month trial period started in August 2009 and the mandatory fitment of tracking systems was expected to commence in February 2010.
However, a new legal challenge has been made which may further delay the implementation timing or change the requirements.
In response to the recent developments, SBD has produced an updated report which details the technical requirements for OE tracking systems, the approval processes and the future outlook for the stolen vehicle tracking market and the opportunities this provides for the fitment of added value telematics services.
This research will help you to:
-
Recognise the impact of the recent legal setbacks on the Brazilian government's intended 2010 deadlines
-
Understand the technical requirements, approval processes and certification bodies for OE stolen vehicle tracking systems
-
Be aware of the risks posed by the lack of system requirements for immobilisers
-
Realise the opportunities available with tracking systems as an enabler to other value added telematics services
-
Obtain competitor information on suppliers and service providers active in the Brazilian market
