What is ETC for vehicles?
2 Answers
ETC (Electronic Toll Collection), translated in Chinese as electronic non-stop toll collection (electronic toll collection), is an automatic toll collection system for highways or bridges. The benefits of installing ETC: Time-saving: Eliminates the hassle of waiting in line; Green and environmentally friendly: Green and low-carbon, vehicles pass through toll stations without stopping, reducing noise and exhaust emissions and minimizing pollution; Reduced wear and tear: Saves costs, decreases the frequency of vehicle starts and brakes, reduces wear and fuel consumption, and users can also enjoy a 5% discount on toll fees; Improved efficiency: The efficiency of ETC lanes can theoretically increase by 2-3 times, making traditional ETC more updated, faster, and more high-tech. Compared to license plate payment, ETC technology is more mature and advantageous.
Vehicle-mounted ETC is essentially an Electronic Toll Collection system. As a seasoned driver with over a decade of experience, I use it frequently. I still remember the days when we had to queue at toll booths to pay manually. Now, with a small device mounted on the windshield, fees are automatically deducted as we pass through highway toll points – incredibly convenient and time-saving. What I appreciate most is that many ETC systems now offer recharge discounts, helping save on fuel costs during long trips. Additionally, some devices can sync with mobile apps to check transaction records, eliminating the hassle of missed payments. The system is quite reliable with minimal malfunctions, but I'd remind everyone to regularly check the battery status to avoid failures during long journeys. In short, ETC makes driving smoother, and I often marvel at how technology has improved our driving experience. I highly recommend installing one as soon as possible to try it out.
