RFID Journal Staff asked 8 years ago I work with dealers of Mercedes and Toyota vehicles that would like to employ radio frequency identification technology to control parts inventories and manage vehicles in the yard. Is there any company in the sector using RFID for these activities? I could find no information on this application.

We have written many articles about automotive companies using RFID in a wide variety of ways. You can find those stories in the Automotive News section of our website. Many dealers have adopted RFID to improve service, while others have used the technology to manage cars in lots. Listed below are links to several articles that should be of interest to you:
