SWARCO SECURES €24M ASFINAG DEAL Swarco has won a long-term contract worth €24m with Austrian motorway operator Asfinag to upgrade messaging technology for the country’s motorists. Swarco Futurit, headquartered in Austria, will deliver and service up to 2,100 LED displays of various sizes over the next 10 years, with the first available from July this year. As part of the agreement, Swarco will also deliver replacement parts, maintenance, servicing and software over the next 25 years. A central component of this deal – which was won by Swarco after an EU-wide tender – is variable message signage. The plan is to expand Austria’s existing IG L system into a unified, modern platform with additional displays and sensors. The signs will be used in upcoming traffic management projects, including in the central region of Upper Austria or on the A10 Tauern motorway, where the aim is to improve the flow of vehicles during holiday periods. “Intelligent traffic management is the future of our mobility strategy,” says Asfinag executive board director Hartwig Hufnagl. “Swarco prevailed as the best bidder with its strong quality.” Michael Schuch, CEO of the Swarco Group, adds: “This contract serves as proof of the motorway operator’s confidence in our LED variable message sign technology, made in Austria.” Stand 2.222 www.swarco-its.com
