Gothenburg's Congestion Charging Project Hits Milestone With New MLFF System
Gothenburg's congestion charging project has reached a significant milestone. The city has successfully implemented the first watch of its new multi-lane free-flow (MLFF) system, led by Kapsch TrafficCom.
The project, aiming to modernise urban traffic management and reduce emissions, is proceeding according to plan. Kapsch TrafficCom, already responsible for 66% of all tolled passages and 57% of charging points, is overseeing the replacement of 50 tolling stations and 91 charging points across the city.
Installation work is mainly carried out during non-tollable hours to minimise disruptions for local drivers. A key milestone was achieved in April 2024 with the successful completion of essential testing phases. The new system covers Gothenburg's entire city centre, enhancing traffic flow and ensuring accurate tolling decisions for 150 million vehicles annually.
The completion of the modernization is slated for the first quarter of 2025. Once fully operational, the updated infrastructure is expected to raise around €90m annually for local infrastructure projects. The system is anticipated to play a key role in reducing emissions and improving traffic flow well into the next decade.
