Combating Vehicle Theft: A New Collaboration

In the face of rising vehicle theft incidents, two industry leaders, Vodafone Automotive and PlaxidityX, have stepped up to address this pressing issue through innovation. Announced on February 19, 2025, this partnership amalgamates Vodafone’s expertise in vehicle safety with PlaxidityX’s cutting-edge cybersecurity measures to create a formidable barrier against modern automotive theft methods.
