French tolling service and solution provider 8559 Axxes and 4984 Kapsch TrafficCom are to cooperate further in the European Electronic Toll Service (EETS) and hope to offer a better and wider range of services to both road users and operators.

The companies have been successfully working together for several years and developed the Belgian Viapass Kilometer Charge for trucks of over 3.5 tons, which was EETS-certified in time for the commencement date on 1 April 2016. Axxès serves a fleet of 200,000 trucks equipped with a GNSS solution by Kapsch.

They plan to leverage their long cooperation by working jointly on the development of tolling solutions, particularly for new EETS markets, beginning with Germany and Italy.
