VW wins car security award

Date: 02 July 2010

VW has won the best car manufacturer gong at the British Insurance Vehicle Security Awards 2010 while Nissan picked up the equivalent van title.

The Innovation Award was won by Iveco for its use of component marking, and the new Green Car and Green Van categories were won by Toyota's solar panel-equipped Prius and Ford's Fiesta Sportvan. The awards, which recognise all that's best in vehicle security, introduced the Green Car and Green Van Award to show "buyers need not compromise when it comes to security and helping the environment".

The Innovation Award recognises vehicle manufacturers who look beyond their current security solutions to products and services: since March 2009, all new Iveco vehicles have been marked using Retainagroup's marking technologies and details of each vehicle are recorded with the owner information on the International Security Register.

The system deters and detects crime, including cloning, by enabling law enforcement agencies to identify suspect vehicles or parts at any time of the day or night, putting criminals at significantly greater risk of being apprehended and, therefore, acting as a major deterrent to the original theft.
