SRL Traffic Systems has increased its variable message sign (VMS) fleet and is set to expand its dedicated VMS team to remain at the forefront of the mobile intelligent transport systems (ITS) industry.

SRL became the exclusive UK and Republic of Ireland distributor of international ITS manufacturer SWARCO in Spring 2019. This latest increase in VMS fleet reflects the strong demand by traffic and events management companies and advertisers, and is testament to the products’ superior performance and industry accreditation, backed by SRL’s strong service.

Fast response and unrivalled UK coverage

Chief executive officer at SRL, Richard Tredwin said: “Since SRL’s foundation in 1997, the company has been an industry pioneer, developing - and achieving Type Approval for – the UK and Republic of Ireland’s first multi-phase temporary traffic and pedestrian systems. 

“The rapid expansion of our SWARCO VMS fleet, along with the introduction to the company of the highly experienced Tony Logan, will help us to remain at the forefront of the ITS sector.

“We are committed to ongoing investment in both product and service, and look forward to announcing in coming months further new developments that will benefit the traffic management, events, utilities, construction and advertising sectors.”
