Ahead of the planned introduction of the EU-wide e-Call accident alert system, a vehicle tracking device launched by Unipart will automatically alert police if a car is involved in a serious accident as well as if it is stolen.
Called Neo-Trac, the black box pinpoints the position of the vehicle using satellite tracking, linked with computerised mapping. If a Neo-Trac-equipped car is stolen, police can track it at a distance without the thief knowing and, when the car stops, remotely disable the engine.
As a system for tracking and recovering stolen vehicles Neo-Trac meets the requirements of the insurance industry’s Thatcham Category 5 standard. Neo-Trac is available in a range of packages from £615 upwards plus a £185 annual fee and comes with a three-year warranty.
