VINCI Concessions is Europe’s leading operator of transport infrastructure concessions (motorways, tunnels, bridges, car parks, airports and light rail systems) and a major player in the development of public-private partnerships (PPPs) within VINCI. Our acquisition of the ASF group in 2006 made VINCI Concessions the world’s biggest private operator of motorway concessions.

In France, VINCI Concessions holds a very strong position, with 4,373 km of motorway under concession to ASF, Cofiroute, ESCOTA, and Arcour (which holds the concession for the A19 between Artenay and Courtenay) and 447,000 parking spaces managed by VINCI Park. The company also has shareholdings in several concession and infrastructure operators: SMTPC, the operator of the Prado–Carénage tunnel in Marseilles; Openly, the operator of the northern ring road around Lyons; the operators of the airports at Grenoble, Chambéry and, since the end of 2007, Clermont Ferrand; and the Stade de France consortium. In 2008, the concessions for the MMArena in Le Mans and the Prado-Sud tunnel in Marseilles will be added to the company’s portfolio.

VINCI Concessions’ operations outside France include Charilaos Trikoupis Bridge (Rion–Antirion) and two new motorway concessions totalling 600 km in Greece; Toll Collect, the electronic toll collection system, and a new 45 km motorway concession in Germany; two bridges over the River Severn, the Dartford Crossing and the Newport Southern Distributor Road in the United Kingdom; two bridges over the River Tagus in Lisbon, Portugal; the Fredericton–Moncton motorway and Confederation Bridge in Canada; the SR-91 and I-394 Express Lanes in the United States; a 45 km section of motorway in Jamaica; the three international airports in Cambodia; and 588,000 parking spaces managed by VINCI Park in 15 countries. New concessions in Belgium, the Netherlands and Cyprus will be added to the company’s portfolio after finalisation of the contracts.
