Local authorities in Montenegro have awarded tolling company Emovis with a new contract to upgrade the tolling systems in the Sozina tunnel, linking the country’s capital Podgorica with the port town of Bar

The tunnel links the capital city Podgorica to the key port of Bar. The 9-month delivery project includes the renewal of the existing 11 lanes with Emovis´ latest generation video tolling solution that is already in operation in other  European countries.

A growing number of traditional barrier-tolled motorways are turning to video toll lanes  to provide road users with a better travel experience and move them into  modern future-focused tolling, while optimizing  operating costs.

Christian Barrientos, CEO of Emovis, said: “This project reinforces Emovis’ presence in Europe and demonstrates our experience in upgrading traditional tolling systems to video tolling: a cashless, low maintenance and high performing alternative for those concessionaires and toll road operators that are seeking to deliver a simplified and better experience for their road users.”

Milan Ljiljanic, Chief Executive Officer of Monteput, said: “For the last 10 years, we have had extremely successful business cooperation with Emovis. We will supplement the current toll collection methods that we use at the Sozina toll station with the Video Tolling system solution. 

We believe that the introduction of these innovative solutions will further improve the throughput of vehicles at our toll station and provide our users with another very efficient way of toll collection.”
