4186 Xerox and 4962 Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) have signed a memorandum of understanding to explore, globally, on a case-by-case basis, potential joint intelligent transport system (ITS) opportunities.

The two companies will focus on electronic toll collection, highway traffic management, telematics and intelligent urban parking in which Xerox has proficiency in back-end software and operations, predominantly in the Americas and Europe, while MHI has strength in front-end hardware and maintenance, predominantly in Japan and Asia.
