At this year’s "Financier of the Year" gala event in Warsaw, Poland, 259 Kapsch was given an award for the efficiency of its fully electronic toll system viaTOLL in bringing in higher revenues than expected last year. The modern toll system constructed by Kapsch for all vehicles over 3.5 tonnes in total weight has been in operation on the existing road network of around 1,560 km since 3 July 2011.

"This award means a lot to us, because we implemented the system in record time. We had less than eight months in which to complete the implementation of this challenging project", explains Michael Gschnitzer, sales director at Kapsch TrafficCom. "The sharp rise in revenues confirms the quality of our toll system."

"Financier of the Year" cited the precision of the fully electronic toll system as one of the main reasons for the award. According to the latest results, use of the toll system brought in higher-than-expected revenues last year. During the last six months, US$131 million was generated for road infrastructure projects – US$5.34 million more than planned. This positive outcome was decisive for the award, and the project was described by the jury as "the most efficient system for financing road-building projects in 20 years."

The Financier of the Year awards have been conferred for twelve years by the editorial team of the weekly finance magazine Gazeta Finansowa.
