108 Q-Free has strengthened its activities in Norway with the extension of four existing service agreements for the AutoPass system, together with two new AutoPass orders and increased capacity in the existing central systems agreement.

The orders, from the Norwegian Public Roads Administration, are worth a total of US$4 million, with potential for a further US$2.5 million over the lifetime of the projects.

“These contracts confirm that we have an attractive portfolio offering in our home market in Norway,” says Q-Free CEO Thomas Falck.

Q-Free currently has eleven AutoPass service and maintenance agreements in Norway. Six of these were extended in February, and the company has now been awarded an extension for another four. One smaller agreement remains to be extended.  The extension of the contract for operation of the central system for toll collection relates to a new installation completed in 2014.

The company has also been awarded two new AutoPass projects, on Askøy and in Hålogaland, both including service and maintenance agreements. These awards may still be contested under the procurement procedures of the Norwegian Public Roads Administration.
