The T-Systems led consortium has been selected as the preferred bidder for Belgium's distance based truck tolling system across main roads according to various media sources (e.g. Wirtschafts Blatt Austria in German).
The consortium comprises T-Systems (76%) and Strabag (24%), with Belgacom as telecommunications partner.
Strabag subsidiary Efkon will provide the enforcement software and system technology, T-Systems will provide the communications and charging technology. The contract is expected to be an availability charge basis. Finalisation of contract is expected in July 2014 with 18 months for testing and implementation, with tolling starting in 2016. The contract for construction and operation would be until 2027.
The contract will include 40 fixed enforcement sites and 40 mobile enforcement units.
There is no news as to whether any charging system for cars is also to be established.
Of course what's particularly peculiar about this piece of news is that it is not the Belgian Government doing this. It is the three regional governments of Belgium operating in unison (Flanders, Walloon and Brussels).
