Norwegian toll technology provider 108 Q-Free has received a further order from 7095 Vespucio Norte Express in Chile for its OBU610 toll tags, valued at US$3.4 million. Delivery starts in May 2013.

One of the first urban concessionaires in Santiago, Vespucio Norte Express is one of the most modern road connections worldwide. In operation since January 2006, the 29 km link is one of the busiest roads in the Chilean capital. It aims to reduce travel times, increase safety levels for users, contribute to urban development of the city and improve quality of life.

Q-Free says its fourth generation OBU610 transponder combines more than twenty years of experience and proven technology to provide the most advanced, universal OBU of its kind. The OBU610 is easily mounted and removed from the windscreen using a slide-in bracket. The device supports all applicable 5.8GHz CEN DSRC protocols for automatic registration, identification and fee collection from vehicles.

“We have been a supplier of tags to Vespucio Norte for a few years now, and we are very pleased to announce this repeat order. This contract will double our volume supplied to this client, and as such an important step for us in Chile”, commented Q-Free CEO, Øyvind Isaksen.
