UNION TANK Eckstein GmbH & Co. KG (UTA) has launched Telepass EU, an on-board unit (OBU) for the payment of tolls in Italy, France, Spain, Portugal and the Liefkenshoektunnel in Belgium.

In addition to recording and billing toll charges, parking fees can be settled via the device at various guarded parking lots in Italy and France. The OBU service will be complemented in the future by additional toll systems. For example, processing the road toll in Poland on the A4 (Katowice–Krakow) is currently in preparation.

“We are providing our customers with the opportunity to use an On-Board Unit in several toll systems with Telepass EU," said Kay Otte, Marketing Director at UTA. “This has several advantages: drivers can reduce the number of toll boxes in their trucks and pass all toll stations without stopping; and they can benefit from a discount of up to 50 per cent over the cash price in some south-western European countries."
