Record investment of 145.6 million in 2025 for the Brenner Motorway
EBIT rose by 7 per cent to 97.5 million, EBITDA to 169.9 million (+3.2 per cent) and profit was just under 90 million. The overall accident rate fell to 14.54 points
(Il Sole 24 Ore Radiocor)- Autostrada del Brennero closed 2025 with revenue of €428 million, up from €242.2 million the previous year. Net profit stood at 89.1 million, despite a change in the tax rate of over 5 per cent, the turbulence that characterised the financial markets in 2025 and the decrease in cash and cash equivalents following the payment of instalments relating to so-called ‘extra profits’ and the railway fund, which brought the financial outgo to over 25 million. EBITDA rose by 3.2% to 169.9 million and EBIT reached 97.5 million (+7%); production costs fell from 333.1 million to 330 million.
Total investment amounts to 145.6 million euros. The largest share, 75.8 million (+51.6 per cent), was allocated to technology, infrastructure, safety and training, whilst 69.8 million was allocated to maintenance. More specifically, of the 75.8 million, 62.1 million were channelled into management innovations. Of the 69.8 million spent on maintenance, the largest portion – 21.4 million – went towards motorway surface maintenance, followed by 9.9 million for the maintenance of plant and equipment, 8.2 million for the maintenance of engineering structures, 7.8 million for the maintenance of road signs and safety barriers, and 5.7 million for landscaping works, to mention the main items. Traffic volumes rose slightly compared with 2024, with 5.32 billion kilometres travelled along the motorway linking the Brenner Pass with Modena and an average of over 46,000 vehicles per day.
“The company,” commented the CEO, Diego Cattoni, “is achieving impressive results across all key indicators: from turnover to production value, from EBIT to investment volume. These are fundamental indicators for any business and demonstrate its potential for performance. We are determined to demonstrate the value of this company in the tender for the new concession as well.”
Accident rate falls again
In 2025, the overall accident rate (number of accidents per vehicle-kilometre per hundred million) fell further to 14.54, more than one point lower than the 15.97 recorded in 2024; It should be noted that the national average is 27 (latest data available from Aiscat for 2023). Over the last 10 years, the TIG has fallen by 25.4 per cent, but if we look back to the late 1990s, the decline is as much as 70.2 per cent. During 2025, traffic wardens carried out 19,680 interventions along the entire road (16,509 in 2024), thereby covering a total of 3.51 million kilometres (3.48 million in 2024), with an average response time of less than 7 minutes.
High-speed rail in Verona
The Board of Directors has approved the construction of the new railway underpass for the high-speed line, which will increase the capacity of the existing railway lines whilst also carrying out the works required for the third carriageway of the A22 motorway. The structure will cross the motorway at kilometre 225, not far from the Verona Nord motorway junction, and will have an estimated cost of 51 million euros, 31 million of which will be borne by Autostrada del Brennero and the remainder covered by RFI. Also regarding Verona, the Board of Directors has approved the refurbishment of the underpass at the Verona Nord motorway junction.
