Vans are targeted differently to ordinary cars across London — for the tools inside as much as the vehicle itself, and fleets specifically because a business with several identical vehicles is an efficient target for organised theft. A hidden immobiliser addresses both in the same way.
Why tradesmen's vans are a specific target in London
A van sitting outside a house overnight or on a job site during the day is often carrying thousands of pounds of tools — but from a thief's perspective, driving the whole van away is faster and less risky than breaking into the back. Once it's gone, both the vehicle and everything inside it are gone. Keyless vans are increasingly targeted with the same relay attack methods used on cars, and London's density means opportunities present themselves constantly.
A ghost immobiliser means even a successfully relayed or cloned van key won't get the engine running — the van, and everything in it, stays put.
Why fleets need a different approach
A business running five, ten or fifty vans represents a much bigger single target than any individual car owner. Once a theft gang identifies a depot with an easy layout or predictable overnight parking, they can return repeatedly. Fitting every vehicle in a fleet with the same hidden immobiliser removes that repeat-target appeal almost entirely — there's no easy win left on offer.
How fitting differs from a standard car
- The CAN BUS connection point is found in the cab, exactly as with a car — no work is needed in the load area
- Vans with existing racking or ply-lining are unaffected, since fitting stays within the dash and footwell area
- Fitting time is broadly the same 1-2 hours per vehicle, occasionally slightly longer on larger commercial chassis
- For fleets, we can schedule multiple vehicles back to back at a single depot to minimise disruption to the working day

Does fitting affect a van's load area or ply-lining?
No — the unit is fitted in the cab area near the existing CAN BUS wiring, with no impact on the load space or racking.
Can you fit multiple vans on the same day for a fleet?
Yes — we regularly book multi-vehicle days for London businesses, fitting several vans back to back at one depot or yard.
Can it be fitted alongside an existing fleet tracker?
Yes, we regularly fit alongside existing trackers or telematics systems — we just confirm compatibility with your specific setup before the day.
