ETC System Manufacturers

Common manufacturers of ETC equipment include Jin Yi Technology, Wanji Technology, COSCO Shipping Technology, Wantong Technology, Huahong Jitong, Tianyu Information, etc. The following is a related introduction to ETC: 1. Introduction to ETC: The Chinese translation is electronic toll collection, which is automatic toll collection for highways or bridges. It uses dedicated short-range communication between the on-board electronic tag installed on the vehicle's windshield and the microwave antenna on the ETC lane of the toll station, combined with computer network technology and bank back-end settlement processing, to enable vehicles to pay highway or bridge tolls without stopping at toll stations. 2. Current Development Status of ETC: ETC is an electronic automatic toll collection system for highways, bridges, and tunnels that is being actively developed and promoted internationally. This technology has a long development history abroad, and electronic toll collection systems in many countries and regions such as the United States and Europe have been partially networked and gradually formed scale benefits. In China, the highway toll collection system, which mainly uses IC cards and magnetic cards as media and relies on manual toll collection methods, is undoubtedly also influenced by this trend.
I've been working in high-speed electromechanical engineering for over a decade, specializing in ETC equipment. Currently, the mainstream OBU equipment suppliers in China are listed companies like Genvict and Wanji, which dominate most of the market share. In Shandong, there's also a subsidiary of Zhaojin Group involved in ETC production, while Fujian Xinghai Communications represents the transition from military to civilian applications. The lane equipment at toll stations is even more complex—for example, Beijing Julii was acquired by UTT and is now called Beida UTT. In fact, provincial high-speed groups have their own industrial chains, such as Jiangsu Tongxingbao under Jiangsu Transportation Holding. When selecting equipment, it's not just about the brand; regional compatibility must also be considered, as some areas only allow provincially certified devices.
