LoJack and Arval, hi-tech alliance against theft: 516 vehicles recovered for EUR 11 million
Since 2019, the collaboration between LoJack and Arval has made it possible to protect company fleets and recover hundreds of stolen vehicles throughout Italy

Security, technology and collaboration. These are the three key words that sum up the success of the agreement between LoJack Italia, a CalAmp Group company active in the field of telematics solutions for the automotive sector, and Arval Italia, a BNP Paribas Group company specialising in long-term rental and mobility services.
Since the agreement was born in 2019, the two companies have been working together to protect the 55,000 vehicles in the Arval fleet. The results are clear: 516 stolen vehicles have been returned, with a value of almost €11 million. The figures demonstrate the effectiveness of the tracking and the strength of the relationship with the police.
The key factor in LoJack's success is a proprietary radio frequency technology that finds vehicles even in places where GPS systems do not work. Coupled with GPS/GSM solutions, it enables rapid intervention even when thieves use jammers to block signals.
The system relies on a 24-hour operations centre, which accompanies the user from reporting to recovery, and a group of specialists on the ground who work hand in hand with the police to speed up the search.
Record recovery: 13 cars and 2 motorbikes found in Verona
