Any car can have Autosweep RFID installed at BMW showrooms

Updated Jan 07, 2021 | Same topic: RFID (Autosweep & Easytrip)

BMW helps lessen the long queues in installation sites.

The shift to cashless transactions in all toll roads causes inconvenience for many motorists due to shortages of RFID stickers and long queues in installation sites. The implementation of social distancing, in response to the ongoing health crisis, made it even difficult to avail of an RFID sticker.

To ease the inconvenience, German car brand BMW decided to open its doors to allow any motorists to avail of an Autosweep RFID sticker in its select dealerships despite using other car brands.

Autosweep RFID is used on San Miguel Corporation (SMC) tollways such as the South Luzon Expressway (SLEX), Skyway, Southern Tagalog Arterial Road (STAR) Tollway, NAIA Expressway (NAIAX), and Tarlac-Pangasinan-La Union Expressway (TPLEX).
