What Emovis does

Emovis is the global service-delivery and technology arm of Abertis, providing end-to-end electronic tolling and smart-mobility solutions to government transportation agencies and toll road operators across 10 countries in North America, South America, and Europe. Headquartered in Issy-les-Moulineaux, France, the company operates an integrated five-product platform covering the entire tolling lifecycle: Emovis Identify (free-flow roadside vehicle identification via video tolling and ALPR), Emovis Qualify (operational back office with microservices and AI-based vehicle classification), Emovis Verify (human-in-the-loop manual image review), Emovis Transact (commercial back office handling billing, payment processing, and reconciliation), and Emovis Interact (CCaaS-based omnichannel engagement launched March 2026). These core products are complemented by three service solutions — Customer Service, Road Usage Charging, and Smart Enforcement — and certified to PCI DSS and GDPR-aligned standards.

The company monetises primarily through multi-year managed-services contracts with public-sector buyers (e.g., the ATMB commercial-back-office award, 6-year base plus 4-year option; the Virginia DMV RUC program extended through 2028), supplemented by transaction-fee revenue on per-vehicle / per-trip processing at scale (ATMB projected at 175,000 daily transactions; Mersey Gateway at 27 million trips in 2025 at 94% digital payment share and 97.8%+ on-time rate). Distribution is exclusively enterprise-direct via government procurement (RFP/RFI), direct negotiation of partnership extensions, and industry events (IBTTA, ASECAP, AI for Tolling Online Summit, Express Lanes Online Summit). Named customers include the Virginia DMV, ATMB, Florida's Turnpike Enterprise, Mersey Gateway Crossing Board, Utah, Oregon, Quebec, and Elizabeth River Crossings. AI capabilities are embedded across the platform rather than sold as a standalone product, with proprietary computer vision, predictive analytics, NLP-powered virtual agents, and a hybrid human-in-the-loop design. The business is wholly owned by Abertis, the diversified infrastructure group managing more than 5,000 miles of highways with 17,000+ employees, providing balance-sheet support and a captive operator pipeline. Emovis itself employs more than 850 specialists across offices in France, the United States (Miami, Orlando, Coral Gables, San Juan), the United Kingdom (Leeds), Spain (Barcelona), Croatia (Split), and Chile (Santiago).

Revenue mechanics combine long-term managed-services engagements, per-transaction processing fees tied to toll volumes, and project-based implementation revenue from free-flow corridor conversions (such as ATMB's A40). Geographic and vertical expansion is concentrated in the US Road Usage Charging market (Virginia extended through 2028; deployments in Utah and Oregon; up to 1.9 million vehicles potentially addressable) and European free-flow tolling corridors. Leadership and governance emphasises vertical specialisation — Emovis is exclusively focused on tolling and mobility rather than horizontal IT services — and is led by CEO Christian Barrientos with Chief Strategy & Transformation Officer Pablo Odena and a regional matrix covering EMEA, North America, and other geographies. The company invests in industry thought leadership via 200+ white papers distributed at the IBTTA Technology Summit 2026 and maintains sector-relevant certifications (PCI DSS, GDPR-aligned).

Revenue model

1. Toll Technology Systems & Licensing: Emovis provides end-to-end tolling technology (roadside systems, back-office platforms) to toll road operators and government transportation agencies. Revenue is generated through long-term government/operator contracts, which may include software licensing, system implementation, and ongoing operational services. The company has contracts with road authorities in the US, Europe, and South America.
2. Operational Services: Emovis provides ongoing operational services including customer service, enforcement, and road usage charging program management. These are typically multi-year managed services contracts, as evidenced by the Virginia RUC program extension through 2028 and the ATMB 6-year base contract (with 4-year option). Services are priced based on program scope, transaction volumes, and geographic reach.
3. Transaction Processing: Emovis processes millions of tolling transactions annually through its back-office platforms (Qualify and Transact). The company handles transaction billing, fee calculation, payment processing, and reconciliation. Revenue is tied to transaction volumes processed, with the ATMB contract projected at 175,000 daily transactions.
