Austrian intelligent transportation and tolling solutions supplier 43 Efkon Group has been awarded two major tolling contracts in Germany and Malaysia.
As one of the main suppliers to the German truck tolling system, Efkon has received a follow-up order for the delivery of on-board units (OBU) for the satellite-based truck tolling system in the country. The OBU is installed in a vehicle to ensure the automatic payment of toll charges in electronic toll collection (ETC) systems.
Efkon, one of the main suppliers of the German truck tolling system, has delivered communications equipment for toll collection and equipped mobile toll enforcement vehicles with intelligent systems. The company also developed portable toll enforcement solutions in Graz which are currently being employed very successfully nationwide in Germany.
Having supplied the key technology for Malaysia’s for a nationwide electronic toll system, Efkon has received a further order for 250,000 OBUs, which are mounted on the inside of the windshield and allow for automatic electronic toll collection in moving traffic without requiring the vehicle to stop. In addition to toll collection, the devices also contain an interface to smart cards to capture parking, bus and rail transportation information.
“We’re extremely pleased with this strong order intake in the first quarter of 2013. Efkon is one of few suppliers today which can meet the high and complex requirements related to high quality ETC systems. We are very happy with the achievements we have made, and very proud of the continued confidence our customers have in our company and in our products. With the current order backlog and with the continued positive momentum expected in the tolling and ITS markets, we look forward to a very exciting period for our company”, comments Daniel Ulz, marketing director at Efkon.
