ACTIVE FREIGHT THEFT PREVENTION
ACTIVE FREIGHT THEFT PREVENTION
Passive Security Is No Longer Enough
Cargo theft isn’t opportunistic anymore. It’s calculated, fast, and informed by data. Criminal networks know which loads are valuable, which trailers are vulnerable, and how long it takes for anyone to notice.
Traditional cargo security still leans heavily on passive tools. GPS trackers, door sensors, and cameras tell you what happened, often after the cargo is already gone. That information is useful for reporting and recovery, but it doesn’t change the outcome.
Active theft prevention does.
Active theft prevention shifts cargo security from observation to intervention. These systems detect suspicious activity in real time and respond immediately, whether through alerts, deterrents, or remote actions that disrupt the theft in progress. Instead of waiting minutes or hours for a location update, active systems react in seconds.
The result is a shorter theft window, higher risk for criminals, and far fewer successful losses.
As cargo theft becomes more organized and sophisticated, prevention must become faster, smarter, and more decisive. In modern logistics, the question is no longer how well you track stolen cargo, but how effectively you stop it from being stolen at all.

Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
GasMaxx and DieselMaxx
How can I determine the estimated savings when using the DieselMaxx/GasMaxx ?
We have developed a Return on Investment Calculator you can use to estimate how much you will save. Contact Us to use the Calculator for your fleet.
Do you have any independent test results about your product?
Yes. We can provide you with test results for a variety potential uses (from semi-trailers to generators). Contact Us to review the tests.
How many miles do I need to drive before I see results?
You will see immediate emissions reductions and may feel a slight power increase due to the Fuel Saving Solutions providing a better grade of fuel to the engine.
There are a number of factors that affect real world fuel economy: weather conditions, driving conditions, driving habits, etc. Most vehicles are equipped with Vehicle Control Modules. These modules are constantly taking in information from a variety of sources. The computers need to be reset over a period of hundreds of miles and even a couple of tanks of fuel.
Are fuel economy computers the best way to track my mileage improvement?
We have found that these computers are not always accurate and require a couple hundred miles to reset. In most cases, over time, they will indicate a higher reading with our Fuel Saving Technology installed.
We recommend testing the Fuel Savers through a pilot program. Contact Us to set up a pilot.
Do the Fuel Savers affect my manufacture warranty?
No. The Magnuson Moss Warranty Act states that legally a vehicle manufacturer cannot void the warranty on a vehicle due to an aftermarket part unless they can prove that the aftermarket part caused or contributed to the failure in the vehicle (US Code – Title 15, Chapter 50, Sections 2301-2312).
If your vehicle manufacturer fails to honor the warranty, contact the FTC at (202) 326-3128 or www.ftc.gov.
Is there a money back guarantee?
Yes, we offer a full refund if you are not satisfied with the product with in the first 60 days. Provided you provide all fuel saving documentation to compare for your vehicle.
Do you have different types of installation kits?
Yes, we have several different types of installation kits available to make it easy to install the Fuel Savers. Our fuel lines are DOT approved.
Who installs the units for our fleet?
One of our technicians will train the fleet mechanics how to properly install the Fuel Savers. Our technicians are available for questions via phone or remote connections (Zoom, Meet, Teams, etc.).
Do the Fuel Savers work with all types of engines?
Yes. Both DieselMaxx and GasMaxx work with a variety of engines and generators, from gasoline to diesel, propane to natural gas.
Is there a way to estimate how much money we would save by installing TrailerSentry in our trailers and cabins?
Yes! We have a handy Return on Investment Calculator to accurately estimate how much you will save. Contact Us to use the Calculator for your fleet.
Can anyone with the software application “unlock” my braking system?
No, the software is programmable to a specific “pin” that responds to your unit only.
Is the unit water proof?
Yes, the unit is fully enclosed and water proof. It has hinged door with a locking feature. It is made of hardened plastic that will stand up to years of usage. The unit is designed to meet NEMA 6P/IP68 ratings, UL Listed to UL 508A, Type 1, 2, 3, 3R, 4, 4X, 5, 6, 6P, 12 &13 and is UL94V-0 flame rated.
What if I lose power to my mobile device or cannot find my mobile device?
You can still monitor and lock and unlock your trailers and cabins through the online portal using any computer or device.
What is the range for locking or unlocking the unit from my mobile device?
The system is a Blue Tooth interface and has a maximum range of 300 feet. Other variables such as terrain, weather, power, etc. may affect the operating distance.
How much time does it take to install the system?
The unit takes between 20-30 minutes to install. It can be mounted under the trailer or cabin anywhere it can interface with the brake lines.

Tests & Pilot Programs
Tests & Pilot Programs
AutoVentions believes in helping freight operators, municipalities, emergency management authorities, school districts, power and telecommunications companies, and other organizations who are interested in our solutions with ways to test or pilot our products before fully implementing them across an entire fleet or assets.
From our Fuel Saving Technology (GasMaxx/DieselMaxx) to our innovative remote brake locking system (TrailerSentry), we have collaborated with a variety of clients to develop comprehensive, detailed tests and pilot programs that provide laboratory environments and control vehicles to ensure tests are accurate and provide the proper information for decison-making.
We have built pilot programs and coordinated with clients' existing testing procedures to provide real-time metrics and long-term analytical data so our client's can make informed decisions.
We would be happy to work with you to develop testing protocols and/or a pilot program so you can try-out our solutions before you implement them across your entire fleet or valuable assets.
We're proud that we have never conducted a test or pilot program that has not shown our solutions to be improvements on existing situations and needs.
