A number of word-leading commercial organisations have been confirmed as official partners of next year’s Road User Charging Conference in Brussels, Belgium.
Despite the event not taking place until 05-06 March 2024, Abu Dhabi-based Tahaluf, Toll4Europe, Vitronic and Verra Mobility have all committed to the the 21st edition of the world’s longest-running independent annual gathering of global tolling, mobility pricing and ITS professionals.
John Thornton, chair of the Road User Charging Conference, said: “To have confirmed the participation of these four businesses some eight or so months out from the event is truly a testament to the strength and reach of the Road User Charging Conference brand.
“When we say the Road User Charging Conference is global this is exactly what we mean. I’m really looking forward to working with Tahaluf, Toll4Europe, Vitronic and Verra Mobility, as well as all our speakers, to deliver a truly world-class event for the international tolling and RUC community.”
