Kapsch TrafficCom has been awarded three new video-based tolling projects by Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency (NZTA) in New Zealand.

The projects, awarded between November and December 2025, have a combined contract value of more than NZ$8.5m (£3.8m). Delivery is expected to take place between late 2026 and early 2028. Under the contracts, Kapsch TrafficCom will be responsible for the design, supply, installation, commissioning and testing of standalone tolling systems across three North Island projects.

Once operational, it will also provide Level 2 and Level 3 maintenance and support services. The company said the systems will use its barrier-free tolling technology, which is already deployed in New Zealand and can be integrated into NZTA’s existing operational framework. Daniel Vazquez, EVP APAC at Kapsch TrafficCom, said: “We are proud to deepen our successful partnership with NZTA.

Our tolling technology is proven in New Zealand and globally, and road users and our partners are already familiar with our system, allowing even closer cooperation in delivery and operation.” The first project is a second gantry for the Tauranga Eastern Link, one of the Bay of Plenty’s key transport corridors and a Road of National Significance. The four-lane tolling system is due to be completed later this year.

Kapsch TrafficCom will also deliver the tolling system for Stage 1 of the Takitimu North Link, which is designed to improve safety, efficiency and economic connectivity between Tauranga and Ōmokoroa. Completion is scheduled by the end of 2027, with Stage 2 expected to be tendered separately. The third project is Ō Mahurangi – Penlink, a new 7km highway connecting Whangaparāoa Road with State Highway 1.

The tolling system is intended to support reduced journey times and regional growth, particularly in areas of new housing development. Completion is planned for early 2028. According to Kapsch TrafficCom, the three projects will support a more resilient transport network and regional growth for more than four million North Island residents.
