Benefits of installing ETC: Saves time: Eliminates the hassle of waiting in line; Green and eco-friendly: Promotes low-carbon travel by allowing vehicles to pass through toll stations without stopping, reducing noise and exhaust emissions, thereby minimizing pollution; Reduces wear and tear: Saves costs by decreasing the frequency of vehicle starts and brakes, reducing wear and fuel consumption. Users also enjoy a 5% discount on toll fees; Improves efficiency: The theoretical efficiency of ETC lanes can increase by 2-3 times, making traditional ETC faster, more advanced, and higher-tech.
