Abstract

Gain competitive advantage with improved security and reduced cost of ownership.

The introduction of destructive attack testing in Belgium and Thatcham standards in Sweden are just some of the important changes that will affect the design of immobilisers, alarm and security systems sold in these markets.

The key question is ‘how can you benefit from the changes?’

Forming part of their Global Insurance and Theft Trends suite of research, SBD has released reports of the Car theft and insurance requirements for both Belgium and Sweden to help you answer that question.

If you are a vehicle manufacturer or supplier involved in the Belgian or Swedish markets, these reports are essential reading.
