During the transition period, the ETC on-board device optionally installed in vehicle products may use either direct or indirect power supply, and shall be recorded in the "Announcement" parameters. From January 1, 2021, new vehicle models applying for product access shall optionally install ETC on-board devices using direct power supply.
