Nearly 1,000 vehicles using electronic tags

HCM CITY — Nearly 1,000 vehicles have been equipped with e-tags since electronic toll collection systems (ETC) were installed at toll stations on the HCM City – Long Thành – Dầu Giây Expressway in August last year.

The ETC will collect tolls by scanning e-tags installed in vehicles passing through toll gates, helping vehicle owners save time and fuel as they do not have to stop to pay fees at the toll booths.

Through e-tags, the system will identify the vehicle and transmit its image and information to a data centre at high speed. Confirmation of the vehicle’s information and deduction of the required amount from the account will be almost immediate, so the barrier will lift without the vehicle having to stop.

Enterprises and transport units can also control the monthly circulation route of their automobiles as well as get support in invoicing from the Việt Nam Expressway Services Engineering.

To register for the service, vehicle owners just need to sign up with a prepaid card and attach an e-tag to the front windscreen. — VNS
