310 Q-Free yesterday announced that it has been informed that the company will be awarded a contract for delivery of the congestion charging infrastructure in Gothenburg. The contractual value is over US$26 million and comprises delivery of road side equipment , infrastructure and service and maintenance for two years with an option for additional six years. The final contract value will be dependent on selected options and also the duration of the service and maintenance contract. The system delivery is planned to start immediately after contract signing, and is expected to be set into operation 1 January 2013.

“This is a strategic award since this represents yet another important reference within congestion charging, and not at least since there will be a lot of market opportunities in  Sweden going forward,”  said Oyvind Isaksen, CEO of Q-Free.

Q-Free designed, installed and commissioned the complete road side system, on board units (OBU) and operational services to the Stockholm congestion charging system which went live on 3 January, 2006. As part of that project, Q-Free deployed 80 multi-lane free flow lanes at 23 physical locations and supplied 750,000 OBUs, as well as providing project professional and operations services.
