    SINGAPORE Technologies Engineering (ST Engineering) is reaping the synergies from its acquisition of TransCore – its largest yet – after hitting its financial milestones for the US$2.7 billion purchase.

    Vincent Chong, group chief executive of the technology, defence and engineering powerhouse, said the group was working to make sure it delivers “the outcomes that we want to achieve in the acquisition”.

    When ST Engineering announced that it was buying TransCore in 2021, it envisaged that the North American electronic tolling and congestion pricing solutions provider would fast-track its goal of becoming a market leader in smart mobility.
