The representatives of BKV Private Ltd. and Synergon System Integrator Ltd. concluded
an agreement designed to enhance the public transportation of the Hungarian capital
in the net total value of 6,976 million HUF on 27th October, 2010.
The primary goal of the project subsidised by the European Union is to enhance
and modernise the fleet and traffic management and passenger information systems.
In understanding of the agreement, Synergon undertakes to configure an integrated
traffic control and fleet management centre; to equip 2,295 pieces of vehicles
with onboard control and passenger information systems; to install 257 passenger
information devices and traffic priority solutions in 30 traffic light junctions.
The agreement also covers the introduction of the web-based and the SMS passenger
information services and the delivery of the accompanying background and communications
system. The date of the realisation and the delivery of the project is 2012.
At the beginning of the year, Synergon announced it was going to lay special
strategic emphasis on several sectors, including the transport sector, more specifically
the development of public transportation. The Company has been engaged in researching
the transport sector and mapping up sector-specific demands for years. For the
last one-and-half years, following the selection of the appropriate solutions
and suppliers, the Company has been focusing on the development of competences.
The current EU tenders are aimed primarily at the development of fleet management
and passenger information systems, consequently Synergon continues to fashion
and build its knowledge base in order to be able to offer the best and most efficient
solutions for further subsidised developments as well, while keeping in mind other
future directions of development also.
The contractor concluded agreements with Volksbank Hungary Private Ltd and Raiffesien
Bank Private Ltd for extending its bank overdrafts, guarantee lines and treasury
