The Drivelock system integrates the terminal with a mobile app that allows blood alcohol control (BAC) to be monitored by measuring the control of exhaled air from human breath
A company from Malaga has created the first wireless breathalyzer for vehicle immobilization to reduce the number of road accidents caused by excessive alcohol consumption. “A solution so that the percentage of road accidents due to alcohol is reduced as much as possible in 2023”, the Drivelock organization emphasizes the name of the brand and the device.
The comprehensive system of this device offers a
accurate measurement of the degree of alcohol intoxication of the individual in the blood and if it exceeds the legal speed limit, it prevents the driver from starting the car. In this way, if the 828 killed on the road by 2021 had Drivelock built into their vehicles, the lives of those 420 people who were driving with alcohol in excess would have been saved because when the vehicle was tested it would be blocked.
“At Drivelock we work hard to improve our device so that driving on the road is as safe as possible and the lives of both driver and passengers are protected. Driving is living,’ he says.

The Drivelock system integrates the terminal with a mobile app that allows blood alcohol control (BAC) to be monitored by measuring the control of exhaled air through human breath. A technological product that provides a reliable and accurate measurement in the diagnosis of alcohol intoxication.
Drivelock works with an electrochemical fuel cell sensor technology that analyzes your breath. The user blows through the mouthpiece and the device sends the data to the phone to display the blood alcohol level. A process that must be performed for the mobile camera to obtain the result. This way it is not possible for someone else to blow. It works with a rechargeable battery via a micro USB cable, which makes it easy to charge on any type of device. Drivelock has to be calibrated once a year and on this basis the company has set up its own Breath Analysis Calibration Center in Malaga, the first in the country.
The founder of Drivelock, José González Villodres, explains that this project is the result of the professional and human need to innovate on the basis of people’s safety, to make citizens aware of the harm that driving under the influence of alcohol can cause . Under the motto ‘Drive is living’, this company from Malaga encourages citizens to think.
This company patented the wired breathalyzer in Spain a few years ago and is now launching this wireless radio frequency system, easy to install and adaptable to any vehicle. One of the main advantages is that when passing the ITV, the user does not need an additional token, because by not tampering with the standard installation, there is no need to approve an engine modification.
