Q-Free says it has won its "largest deal in Australia, both financially and in scale" since it began operating there in 1999.

With an unnamed client, and a location identified only as "a major Australian toll road", the deal involves the design, development, supply and implementation of a new roadside multi-lane free-flow tolling system replacing "non-Q-Free equipment" on 37 gantries. 

The contract comes with a 12-year service and maintenance agreement.

“We are extremely proud to be selected as the roadside tolling system provider for this exciting project," says Silje Troseth, Q-Free vice president APAC. 

"It’s rewarding to see our efforts to expand our presence and market share through globally-recognised technology and local expertise beginning to bear fruit. We look forward to collaborating closely with the client for many years to come!” 

Q-Free's recent Australian projects include Transport for New South Wales’ Sydney Harbour Bridge and Tunnel, Transurban’s Cross City Tunnel in Sydney, and the Legacy Way in Brisbane.

Mark Talbot, Q-Free CEO, says: “This win is a testament to our team’s perseverance, commitment to understand the customer’s needs, and their ability to effectively leverage our value chain partners to quickly deliver the best solutions.”
