It will now be replaced with new and improved Q-Free technology including a new innovative camera platform and updated Automated License Plate Recognition (ALPR/ANPR) software solutions.

– We are extremely proud and pleased to continue as the supplier of Stockholm’s congestion tax system. Stockholm has for many years been a showcase for Q-Free’s video tolling technology and will continue to be a very valuable and relevant reference as a growing number of cities around the world follow in Stockholm’s footsteps and implement city tolling or congestion charging schemes, says Håkon Volldal, Q-Free’s President & CEO.
