Strabag subsidiary 43 Efkon will deliver, install, operate and maintain the enforcement software and system technology for the satellite tolling of Belgian’s primary road network for a period of twelve years.

The Belgian state expects the tolling of trucks weighing less or equal to 3.5 t to provide annual revenue of US$976–US$1.1 million. The sky-ways consortium, comprising Strabag and satellite tolling provider 7157 T-Systems will operate the concession on a contractually specified availability basis. Belgian telecommunications company Belgacom will supply telecommunications and data centre services.
