Carriers May Request On-Board Units for Tolling Purposes

The owners of heavy-duty vehicles over 3.5 tonnes can now begin preparing for on-board equipment for the purposes of the upcoming toll charging. One of the two national service providers that have signed contracts under the new RIA General Terms and Conditions – Intelligent Traffic Systems AD, has successfully completed end-to-end integration tests for interoperability with the electronic toll collection system, operated and maintained by the RIA. This enables the company to pre-register for the fleet equipment of carriers with on-board units, as well as to start preparations for contracting with them. They will enter into force when the toll system for commercial vehicles over 3.5 tonnes is put into operation.
