Applying for ETC at highway toll stations is an on-the-spot service. After payment, the OBU device will be installed immediately, and the entire process takes about 10 minutes. For credit card-based ETC applications, you need to apply at the bank first, and the card will be issued in approximately 7 days. Benefits of installing ETC: Time-saving: Eliminates the hassle of waiting in queues; Green and eco-friendly: Promotes low-carbon travel. Vehicles can pass through toll stations without stopping, reducing noise and exhaust emissions, thereby minimizing pollution; Cost-saving: Reduces expenses by decreasing the frequency of vehicle starts and brakes, lowering wear and fuel consumption. Users also enjoy a 5% discount on toll fees; Improved efficiency: Theoretically, ETC lanes can increase vehicle passing efficiency by 2-3 times, making traditional ETC faster, more advanced, and high-tech. Compared to license plate payment, ETC technology is more mature and advantageous.
