2007-June-25 Opus has signed an agreement with Actia Muller Services, Daughter Company in the French Actia group listed at the Paris stock exchange, for delivery of technology for emission control by reading the vehicles fault codes (EOBD) at vehicle inspection. The order is guaranteed to 2 MSEK but is estimated to be worth 4 MSEK. The complete order will be delivered in 2007. Since 2001 are all petrol vehicles in Europe equipped with an electronic possibility to check the vehicles emission control- and catalytic converter systems. This is called EOBD (European On Board Diagnostic). In some countries (Germany, Finland, Poland and Hungary) has the government already implemented the EOBD test in combination with vehicle inspection and from the 1st of January 2008 will the French government implement it as well. In Sweden the EOBD test will possibly be implemented in 2009. Vehicle inspection in France is mostly performed by approx. 4500 private test stations. These are equipped with computerized test lanes where the vehicles are tested in different steps. The EOBD test is to be integrated into the complete test by use of Blue Tooth technology. Actia who is the market leader will offer the Opus technology firstly to its large customer base. ”This is a good start for a co-operation with the French Actia Group, which is the world leader in OEM-diagnostic solutions for vehicle manufacturers where the subsidiary Actia Muller Services is focusing on equipment for vehicle inspection. And it is really an achievement that we have managed to win this contract in competition with both French and Italian manufacturers”, says Magnus Greko, Managing Director of Opus Prodox AB.
