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.

    Study finds big differences in toll collection cases
    Examination of Norway’s tolling companies finds much to praise, and some criticisms too, as Torill Eidsheim told delegates at the ASECAP conference. The cost of collecting tolls has a substantial effect on the profitability, or otherwise, of tolling companies and is within the company’s control to a far greater degree than, for instance, traffic volumes. And while it is easy to assume that all tolling companies incur similar collection costs, that is not always the case according to Torill Eidsheim, pres
