With RFID technology, commercial, government, and increasingly smaller private fleets can provide hands-free access to their maintenance depot. More recently companies are using the systems to collect, track, and report operations and maintenance data for all of their vehicles.

Benefits of using RFID Systems:

* Provides faster and more accurate vehicle check-in, re-fueling, weighing, maintenance, and check-out
* Tracks the location of cabs, trailers, and other fleet vehicles within the RFID-enabled parking lots, maintenance depot, and storage facilities
* Vehicle maintenance can be automatically recorded and tracked
* History of fleet inventory can be maintained

Increasingly attractive for vehicle hire operators, simple systems are now even being used for relatively small fleets of speciality vehicles such as VW campervans available for hire to track maintenance data.
