Kapsch TrafficCom Unveils World's First Light-Powered Tolling Transponder

Kapsch TrafficCom has unveiled a revolutionary product in the tolling industry: Elumian, the world's first light-powered tolling transponder. This innovative device, designated as TRP-4010-40E, promises a significant shift towards sustainability. Unlike traditional transponders that rely on battery power, Elumian harnesses energy from any available light source. This unique feature, made possible by Powerfoyle technology from Kapsch's partner Exeger, extends the operational lifespan and efficiency of the transponder. Alfredo Escriba, Chief Technology Officer (CTO) at Kapsch TrafficCom, sees this as a fundamental shift towards sustainability in the industry. Powerfoyle operates efficiently under various lighting conditions, capturing a wide light spectrum. This ensures continuous charging, even in low-light situations. The technology is produced sustainably in Sweden using renewable electricity and without toxic emissions. Elumian retains the plug-and-play installation process from the earlier TRP-4010 model, making it easy to use and integrate. Elumian is expected to lower distribution and disposal costs compared to conventional transponders, supporting sustainable tolling practices. With its innovative light-powered technology and commitment to sustainability, Elumian is set to transform the tolling industry.
