We would like to once again offer our sincere apologies to our customers and many other parties for the inconvenience caused by the widespread ETC system failure that occurred on Expressway managed by Central Nippon Expressway Company Limited from Sunday, April 6th to Monday, April 7th.
Among the toll booths where the outage occurred, there was one that continued to communicate wirelessly with ETC, and after checking the billing data, it was found that the data was normal. For the customers who used the tolls, payment procedures are currently being carried out through the card companies, etc. (You will soon receive a bill).
In light of the seriousness of the confusion and inconvenience caused to our customers, we have decided to provide a refund to customers who passed through the affected toll gates and paid the toll at a later date in the form of an ETC mileage service rebate of the amount of the toll used, a reduction in the amount charged, or the sending of a QUO card.
