Technology

VIN Chip employs the most innovative Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) and forensic security technology available, making it the best in the field. Initially introduced via CRiS in 1998 to combat leisure vehicle crime, it has since evolved into the leading security and recovery system within the industry.

The introduction of VIN Chip has resulted in a 90% reduction in caravan theft according to the National Vehicle Crime Intelligence Service (NaVCIS). VIN CHIP has now extended its protection to new sectors, including the agricultural and construction industries, where theft remains a significant concern.
