"The system will start running Monday on the roads of the Eure with five vehicles that will begin to flash," said Emmanuel Barbe, Interministerial Delegate for Road Safety at a press conference at the Prefecture in Evreux.It will be progressively extended to Normandy with 26 vehicles. The objective is that these vehicles are "operational in the summer," said the interministerial delegation, interviewed by an AFP correspondent.
From 2019 until 2020, the device will be deployed throughout metropolitan France, with "the objective of having 383 operational vehicles", according to the same source. Currently assigned to gendarmes and police, these cars will gradually be transferred to the private, even if they will remain state property.
The idea is "to increase the ability to flash," said Barbe. The goal assigned to private companies will be indeed 08H00 per day, every day, including holidays and night, while the daily use time of these vehicles is now 1:30, according to the delegation.But there will be "no retribution to the number of flashes," assured Mr. Barbe. "We pay the company only to drive on the routes planned by the state.The remuneration is based solely on the number of kilometers to be covered in a given month," said Mr. Barbe.
The Normandy market was awarded to the company Mobiom selected among 21 offers to drive radar cars in the region. It is a subsidiary of the company Challancin (cleanliness, safety, personal services) which has a turnover of 182 million euros in 2017 and 7,000 employees.
