    Since 1984, Q-Free has been a leader in tolling solutions, and now the company is driving innovation in road user charging (RUC) — a smarter, more flexible way to pay for road usage. Unlike traditional tolling, RUC calculates fees based on distance driven, with dynamic pricing for factors like rush hour congestion or urban vs rural travel. It also shifts revenue focus, covering external costs like accidents, noise, and delays rather than just infrastructure.
