After use, the vehicle can be returned and logged off with the reservation card.The V-tron Car Sharing Kit ensures cost-effective and reliable communication through the online car sharing reservation and management system.

Fleet management- and Car sharing features
By using an RFID reader that is mounted on the windshield, the vehicle can be locked or unlocked by scanning the active reservation card on the reader. All (driving) information, such as real-time mileage will be sent to the online car-sharing management system.
In addition to the RFID reader, there is also the possibility to open the vehicle with a smartphone.
Hereby, a QR-code enables this action, which is installed on the windshield of the vehicle. This option is for the business market often useful, given the density of users of smartphones in the market.
This option is also ideal for vehicles with limited duration, concerning the installation and reinstallation costs.

In areas where there is no GSM coverage, the system can identify the customers constantly. This is particularly relevant for entrepreneurs, who have parked their vehicles in the garage or in remote areas.

Master key-cards:
Within the system, master magnetic keys can be used for operational staff, e.g. for the recall of vehicles.
