What are the manufacturers of ETC equipment?
2 Answers
ETC manufacturers include Wanji Technology and Jinli Technology. Below is relevant information about ETC: 1. Introduction: Also known as an automatic road toll system or non-stop electronic toll collection system. 2. Principle: The ETC system uses automatic vehicle identification technology to complete wireless data communication between vehicles and toll stations, enabling automatic vehicle sensing identification and exchange of relevant toll data. 3. Significance: The fully automatic electronic toll collection system is a solution for busy highway toll collection, implementing nationwide networking, automatic bank settlement, and quick passage, which is highly beneficial to users.
Last time when I applied for ETC, I specifically compared the major players, and there are three main ones that dominate the market: Beijing Speedpass (partner of ETC Jing Card), Shanghai Jietong (commonly used on Yangtze River Delta highways), and Shandong High-speed Xinlian (the manufacturer behind WeChat ETC). Their devices are directly linked to Alipay and WeChat, allowing payments at convenience stores and parking lots. Nowadays, banks even offer free devices—for example, China Construction Bank provides the compact Xinghai Tech box, while Agricultural Bank of China partners with Jietong Tech to offer solar-powered devices, eliminating worries about forgetting to charge them. Choosing a manufacturer mainly depends on which provincial highways you frequently travel on, so pay attention to device compatibility.
