Norwegian toll systems supplier 108 Q-Free is to supply its OBU610 on board toll tag to the Expressway Authority of Thailand (EXAT).  Due to Q-Free’s use of new production technology, the US£2 million order will be delivered within a month.

Q-Free’s universal OBU610 is designed to blend into the interior of any modern vehicle and supports all 5.8GGhz CEN DSRC protocols for automatic vehicle identification and toll fee collection.

Q-Free has already supplied toll systems to customers in Thailand, where the growing market for electronic tolling is creating an increasing demand for new tolling infrastructure and demand for tags.  

Q-Free CEO Øyvind Isaksen comments: “Due to increased traffic and electronic tolling gaining popularity, we foresee that both new infrastructure and tag opportunities will gradually increase in Thailand going forward.”
