Amaro (Italie), 12 juillet 2010 - Eurotech, l′un des fournisseurs leader de technologies, produits et systèmes embarqués a annoncé aujourd′hui la signature d′un contrat de 10 millions de dollars pour la fourniture d′ordinateurs embarqués à Cubic Transportation, le premier fournisseur mondial de solutions clés en main de systèmes de billeterie électroniques dans les transports publics. Destiné à l′utilisation de bornes de billetterie automatiques intelligentes pour le système de transports publics d′une grande ville européenne, le contrat prévoit l′installation de plus de 20 000 unités dans les bus et aux points d′accès des gares routières sur tout le réseau.

"Transportation is proving to be a rewarding market for Eurotech" says Roberto Siagri, President and CEO of Eurotech. "The order book is growing and I′m very pleased about how things are moving forward: after the 7.5 million USD contract that was announced in March, this is the second multi-million contract win this year, and I′m confident there′s more to come."

"The successful introduction of this single board computer demonstrates not only Eurotech′s technical capabilities in embedded solutions, but also is testament to our ability to build design partnerships with our clients and find pragmatic solutions to the challenges that companies face during such projects" explains Frank Cutri, Eurotech′s European Managing Director. "Cubic′s requirements needed a combination of hardware, software and domain expertise, backed by the stability of a global Group and the service of a local organisation, and Eurotech was able to demonstrate capability in all of these areas."
