Norwegian tolling system by Kapsch TrafficCom goes live
Vienna/Oslo, July 10, 2025 – Kapsch TrafficCom is proud to announce that the barrier-free tolling hardware it is implementing for Norway’s Vegfinans toll charger is going live on July 10, 2025.
After successfully completing all relevant tests, the system will be handed over to the client and begin operation on National Road 4, north of capital city Oslo, on July 10. Final customer acceptance is expected after a successful operation period in early 2026. With the new technology, Vegfinans can deliver reliable, comfortable and precise toll collection to its customers.
“We are pleased with the successful installation of the first toll station by Kapsch for Vegfinans and are eager to continue our collaboration on several forthcoming projects,” comments Dan Isak Kveta, Project Manager, Vegfinans AS.
The system that is now going live in the Innlandet region is the first of multiple projects that will cover the counties Akershus, Buskerud, Innlandet, Telemark, Vestfold and Østfold. The new tolling solutions will span highways and smaller cities, contributing to enhanced transportation efficiency and sustainability across the greater region.
During the tender process, Kapsch TrafficCom particularly excelled in the areas of climate impact and system quality, reaching full points in those two areas. Out of a total of six bidders, Kapsch TrafficCom distinguished itself by its focus on quality of the offered solution and environmental responsibility, which includes selecting eco-friendly materials, implementing efficient maintenance practices, optimizing delivery methods, and ensuring the repair and recycling of hardware.
