“In France, item-level RFID infrastructure provider TagSys, in partnership with FabricAuto and La Poste, have introduced a new RFID-based vehicle identification and anti-theft/misuse system called ‘TRI-Tag’ (Traffic Registration Identification). The TRI-Tag system effectively adds a layer of electronic identification to reinforce existing visual identification methods. TagSys RFID tags are integrated by FabricAuto into a vehicle’s registration components, including La Poste’s Phil@poste secured windshield holographs. The combined system protects vehicle owners from theft and unauthorised misuse of their vehicle.”
