VodafonePower to you

Vehicle theft is a problemVehicle theft is a continuing and financially damaging problem for individuals and for large as well as small businesses.

A stolen vehicle means business disruption, dealing with insurance claims, increasing premiums and stress in general.

In the past, cost and complexity have prevented many vehicle owners from considering installing tracking devices to aid recovery in the event of a theft.

A small solution with big impactVodafone Vehicle Defence is a compact, easy to fit and cost-effective solution that can overcome these barriers.

Powered by its own battery, with an active life of up to two years, Vodafone Vehicle Defence is small enough to be concealed even on motor bikes, powerful enough to track large industrial equipment, and cost effective, which enables unit installation on every fleet vehicle.

Vodafone Vehicle Defence is unique among the commercially available tracking devices with its dual location identifiers. The principal locator is a GPS signal, but if this is lost for any reason, the vehicle can be tracked by Cell ID location, using the Vodafone GSM network. If the vehicle is reported stolen, it can be tracked and has a higher probability of recovery. Should the GPS signal be lost, using the Vodafone network, the vehicle’s position can be pinpointed using GSM Cell ID location.

The development team behind Vodafone Vehicle Defence has a 20 year heritage in vehicle telematics, and this lightweight and easily hidden tracking device benefits from this accumulated knowledge and experience.

In many European countries, statistics show that vehicle

recovery rates rise significantly if they are fitted with tracking

devices. Yet, in the UK, out of the almost 70,000 vehicles stolen in 2014,

only 1% had a tracker in it therefore recovery rates remain

relatively low.

Vodafone Vehicle Defence is designed and priced in a way to make it accessible in a simple and affordable way to give added protection to vehicle fleets.

The telematics unit is the size of a credit card, with minimal depth, therefore it can be hidden easily in many places within or on a vehicle.

It is also easily transferrable between vehicles if necessary as owners have the ability to speak directly with our professional and helpful customer service team and inform them of the new vehicle identity.

Once the device is fitted discreetly somewhere on the vehicle and activated , Vodafone Vehicle Defence can be set to wake automatically once or twice a day.

If the vehicle is reported stolen, it can be tracked and has a higher probability of recovery. Should the GPS signal be lost, using the Vodafone network, the vehicle’s position can be pinpointed using GSM Cell ID network location.

The signal can be tracked throughout the European Union and is recognised by police authorities in 44 different countries.
