In 2007, theft of trailers and cargo in Europe cost € 8 billion, according to the Transported Asset Protection Association, while the number of stolen trucks and trailers doubled to more than 2,000 in 2008.
The most targeted trailers include:
Expensive trailers
Trailers with high-value cargo
Trailers parked in non-secured areas such as harbors
IMMOBILIZER REDUCES THEFT
TRAILER IMMOBLIZER helps reduce the risk of your trailer and cargo being stolen.
As a function integrated into the EBS braking system, WABCO Immobilizer blocks the trailer wheels so your trailer cannot be moved.
WABCO IMMOBILIZER requires a 4 digit PIN code, similar to the PIN of a mobile phone. The driver can activate or deactivate WABCO IMMOBILIZER by entering the PIN code into the SmartBoard*.
Once enabled, WABCO IMMOBILIZER activates an alarm when someone tries to move the trailer or tries to tamper with the braking system.
Ask your trailer manufacturer for the WABCO TRAILER IMMOBILIZER PACKAGE containing a SmartBoard, an Immobilizer Valve (LACViC) and the Immobilizer Activation Code.
* WABCO recommends to use SmartBoard only in areas where temperature is not lower than -20°C as the display becomes invisible below -20°C
