Norwegian tolling systems supplier 108 Q-Free has been awarded a US$2.5 million order for toll tags from the 2098 Australian Roads and Traffic Authority (RTA). These are for delivery in July.

“This implies increased demand for tags and modernisation of existing roadside infrastructure, and as such Australia represents an important market for Q-Free.”
