Vehicle theft isn’t a myth. In 2024 alone, over 850,000 cars were stolen in the U.S., averaging one vehicle every 37 seconds.
With TSR1‑B or T‑Relay, Topflytech brings the power of proven immobilisers into your fleet—mobilizing safety before theft happens.
Activate via platform or SMS: Send command or wheel ignition logic binds via BLE to GPS tracker.
TSR1‑B (wireless): Discreetly hidden—no wiring to follow.
T‑Relay (hardwired): Installed inline with ignition/fuel circuit—always connected.
Engine stops when no signal: Relay disables ignition—or fuel line—until authorization is restored.
Vehicle immobilised on-the-fly stops thieves instantly
Remaining GPS tracking allows recovery
Deterrent effect: thieves avoid immobilised targets, reducing theft attempts
