Intelligent traffic systems supplier 1134 Siemens has acquired UK traffic enforcement organisation, Zenco Systems

The announcement follows a number of joint technology projects between the two companies within the UK, including deployments in Manchester and London.

Zenco Systems was founded in 2006 to provide local authorities with the ability to use CCTV video evidence to enforce traffic contraventions.

Following the first digital enforcement trials in the London Borough of Camden in 1996, the ZenGrab digital enforcement solution has since become a widely used digital enforcement system in the UK.

Gordon Wakeford, head of Siemens’ mobility division in the UK, said the strategy is to expand Zenco’s civil enforcement technology through Siemens’s worldwide operations.

“As a small company, the ability to grow our organisation and make the most of the unique skills and knowledge we have built up is limited,” said Noel Frost, chief executive and commercial director of Zenco Systems. We look forward to the global possibilities for our enforcement solutions.”
