Stay tuned for regular updates on microdots—an innovative technology that remains largely under the radar across much of the globe. But it’s a game-changer, especially in the fight against professional car theft!
Microdots have already proven their worth by removing the financial incentive for car thieves. In Europe, stolen vehicles are frequently trafficked to Russia and African nations, or dismantled for parts. Fraudulent warranty claims on high-value components also contribute to the growing costs that insurance companies and law enforcement agencies are forced to shoulder. Just imagine: in Africa alone, Interpol dedicates countless man-hours to identifying stolen cars from Europe, reconnecting them with their owners, and returning them.
And here’s where things get even more critical—electric vehicles (EVs) bring a whole new set of challenges, with their abundance of high-value parts. The solution? Microdots. When installed by the original equipment manufacturer (OEM), they provide lifetime protection for the entire vehicle and its parts. Chinese EV makers can seize this opportunity to showcase their commitment to reducing costs for countries receiving their products—by protecting against theft, fraud, and unnecessary financial strain. This move could boost their reputation as responsible corporate citizens, and while it won’t remove tariffs, it sends a strong message of goodwill.
This strategy could even sway the European lobby groups advocating for affordable Chinese EV imports, given that local automakers can’t compete at those price points. If China responds by tightening its grip on the auto parts supply chain, Europe’s costs could skyrocket even further. The proof is in the numbers: over the past 12 years, countries like South Africa and Taiwan have seen remarkable success after making microdots mandatory.
