UK-based metric parking is to supply a further twenty-seven of their Elite pay and display parking machines for an extension to a parking project in a suburb of the Malaysian capital Kuala Lumpur.

The order follows the shipment of eighty-two similar machines last year to the city of Petaling Jaya and brings the total number of Metric machines in Malaysia to more than 1,000.

92 Metric Group export manager Mike Hewett praised the part played by the Metric Group’s Malaysian distributor My One Solution, and said:  “Local authorities in Malaysia are very keen on the concept of pay and display as a means of controlling the substantial demand for on-street parking.

“This latest shipment is one of many Metric have made to Malaysia over the last 15 years.  As far as I am aware, Metric has been selling this type of pay and display technology to Malaysia for longer than almost anyone else.”

    UK drivers could earn £500 a month by making their idle vehicle available to renters on Turo’s peer-to-peer car-sharing service, the company says. Turo carried out a poll of 2,000 UK motorists which revealed the average Brit spends under nine hours a week behind the wheel.
