Two on-board units (OBUs) for contactless toll collection used by millions of trucks and cars, TRP-4010 and OBU-5310 from Kapsch TrafficCom are the first hardware components of tolling solutions that comply with the EU Taxonomy Regulation regarding climate change. The analysis also included a comparison with competing products of the same functionality. The result: both OBUs are the smallest, lightest and most sustainable in their class.
