• ALK Technologies Inc. announced the successful certification and integration of industry-standard PC*MILER® 24 and PC*Miler Tolls 24 by strategic alliance partner McLeod Software. PC*Miler’s 24th annual edition includes map data updates such as truck restrictions and truck-specific toll costs.

• TÜV Rheinland Group has issued a report identifying the bi-modal technology of RailRunner NA as "promising" for approval to be used in the European marketplace, according to a press release.

The report describes the cost-saving potential of the RailRunner technology as “outstanding” and concludes that the prospect is good that the technology will win approval by the European Rail Agency under its Technical Specification of Interoperability.
