Changing the situation on the Greek motorways, Olympia Odos implements the kilometric charging thanks to its Hybrid system for the first time in Greece, as of January 1, 2020.Thanks to a system of advanced technology that calculates the actual distance traveled by the vehicle, Olympia Odos offers lower toll rates at the motorway toll stations that may reach even -76%.
The new Hybrid tolling system that operates exclusively with the OLYMPIA PASS transponder is capable of calculating the kilometers traveled by the drivers and automatically make refunds corresponding to the non-traveled distance, and immediately credit the driver’s account.In fact, the drivers pass the tolls by using the OLYMPIA PASS and are charged with the rate corresponding to their route. When exiting Olympia Odos, the Hybrid System recognizes the transponder and refunds the difference, therefore the users are charged only for the kilometers they have traveled along the motorway.
The kilometric tolling creates new circumstances for trips in Greece, since its offers proportional rates, thus satisfying a long-standing demand of the community.
Mr. Panayiotis Papanikolas Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Olympia Odos made the following statement:
“The Hybrid kilometric tolling system is an innovative technological system that completely changes the way the Greek motorways operate, and constitutes an important social investment in people’s transportation, since it introduces the sense of kilometric charge for the first time in Greece. We, the family of Olympia Odos, are very proud and happy that we managed, during this very difficult period for Greece, to put into operation a system that will offer significant rate cuts to the drivers using the motorway.”
