V2X Tolling Solution: Valeo and Kapsch Enable Seamless Connected Toll Payments

On February 2, 2026, Valeo Group partnered with Kapsch TrafficCom to introduce a real-time, secure, and automated V2X tolling solution that allows vehicles to communicate directly with tolling infrastructure, enabling seamless and contactless toll transactions.

Technology foundation of the V2X tolling solution

The collaboration brings together Valeo’s strengths in advanced driver-assistance systems, autonomous vehicle technologies, and cellular onboard units with Kapsch’s long-standing expertise in tolling and intelligent transportation systems, creating an integrated connected vehicle tolling architecture.

How the automated toll transaction works

Using Valeo’s Cellular-V2X onboard unit, a Valeo autonomous vehicle can automatically initiate a secure toll transaction through a PC5-based SAE J3217 message exchange with a Kapsch roadside unit, removing the need for manual intervention.

Security and interoperability design

The end-to-end transaction is protected by a Microsec-provided security credentials management system that ensures data integrity and privacy, while remaining fully interoperable with existing RFID and video-based tolling systems deployed on current road networks.

Industry demonstration and next steps

The V2X tolling solution will be demonstrated at the :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2} meeting in Sacramento, California, USA, from February 2–5, 2026, highlighting its readiness for real-world deployment in future connected and autonomous mobility ecosystems.
