Automobile flights that are not weakened. Last year, almost 140,269 vehicles were stolen in France. This represents a flight every 4 minutes, according to figures from the Ministry of Interior, highlighted in the last Coyote Secure Observatory.
A significant cost for insurers
The name of the antiheft solution marketed by the French company, in addition to its famous driving assistants. Small boxes hidden on board and that certainly does not avoid theft, but at least increase the possibilities of finding it quickly.
“This is a problem for all, with an estimated cost of 600 million euros per year for insurers and, therefore, weighs bonds, again this year,” said Stéphane Curtelin, Marketing Director and Coyote products.
A tasty invoice, which Coyote estimates that it has been reduced by 52 million euros: the value of vehicles recovered last year by the detectives working for this service. The small hidden housing in the vehicle can be located through different technologies, such as 4G or the GPS signal, then accurately identified in a place determined by the agents thanks to a kind of remote control and in close relationship with the forces of the order.
A service offered to buy the vehicle
With 100,000 facilities last year, almost 500,000 vehicles are now equipped with this secure Coyote solution.
A box that evolves with Nano 2, equipped with a battery that can last 5 years, against 4 years in the first generation, and also uses new technologies to escape the show of the waves used by certain thieves.
“Be careful with alternatives such as Apple Airtag, which are not an anti -theft solution,” warns Stéphane Curtelin.
For Coyote Secure, 15 euros per month and 100 euros are needed for installation. An increasingly proposed solution for the purchase of a new vehicle or a opportunity in very good condition by a dealership, with a cost that can be integrated into the monthly rental income.
SUV and hybrid, the choice of thieves
The SUVs represented two out of three vehicles stolen last year equipped with a safe solution of Coyote. A strong trend in the automotive market for many years in purchases of new cars, but also flights.
The same trend with hybrid engines, which had great success last year and represented 53% of these flights, 13 points more than in 2023.
Among the most affected regions, île-de-France with a rate of 5.6 stolen vehicles for 1,000 in circulation. But it was the Hauts-de-France region, which experienced the greatest increase last year, with 3.6/1,000, an increase of 29%.
With the generalized access of hands -free to modern cars, the electronic flight remains the main technique used, 94% last year. With an advantage, vehicles found are most of the time in good condition. With pleasant surprises: a vehicle found thanks to its safe box in Coyote, but along with other stolen cars. The “incident inputs” rose 32% last year.
