108 Q-Free has received an extension order valued at US$1.9 million from the Swedish transport Administration (6301 Trafikverket) for service and maintenance of the on-going Gothenburg congestion charging project. The order will be delivered within the end of 2017.

Congestion charging was introduced in Gothenburg in 2013, with the Stockholm congestion charge as a model.
