Q-Free Road User Charging (RUC) technology

Charges road usage by distance and zones with small, privacy-focused tags, enabling dynamic pricing, reducing congestion, and funding roads.

Unlike traditional tolling at fixed points, Q-Free’s Road User Charging (RUC) for private cars charges drivers by distance using easy-to-install, battery-powered, privacy-focused tags. Tested in large pilots and compatible with DSRC, it enables dynamic pricing, funds infrastructure as fuel tax revenue declines, reduces congestion, and accounts for urban vs rural traffic. Developed with authorities and research partners, Q-Free’s RUC supports smarter, modern mobility fleets.
