Market driven requirements are behind the launch of the Elite version of the Aura, part of 92 Metric Group's range of pay and display parking and payment machines.

The AA-Populus Driver Poll of more than 16,500 members carried out last month, found that cash is still the preferred option for those looking to pay for parking.
