Concer

What Concer does

Concer (Companhia de Concessão Rodoviária Juiz de Fora – Rio) was a Brazilian highway concession company that operated the BR-040 corridor between Rio de Janeiro and Juiz de Fora under a 25-year regulatory contract granted by ANTT in March 1996. The core business was toll collection at three plazas — Xerém (km 102), Areal (km 45.5), and Simão Pereira (km 816.7) — with automobile tolls at R$14.50, 3-axle vehicles at R$21.75, 4+-axle trucks/buses at R$29.00, and motorcycles at R$7.25 (post the May 2024 15.42% adjustment).

The operation was anchored by a Serviço de Assistência ao Usuário (SAU) combining 24/7 CCTV monitoring via 100 cameras, mechanical assistance (~75,785 attendances in 2024), medical response (~2,584 attendances in 2023, 42.8% of which supported the public SUS network), towing fleets, and real-time driver information delivered through an 0800 hotline (93,500+ annual calls), a WhatsApp alert service (18,000+ subscribers), a mobile app, the DFE fiscal document portal, and Serviço de Informação ao Usuário posts at toll plazas.

Concer was a wholly-owned subsidiary of Triunfo Participações e Investimentos and operated under an Integrity Program aligned with Triunfo's Code of Conduct. Over the ~30-year concession, Concer invested approximately R$7.5 billion — roughly 200% above original contractual obligations — adding 76 km of expanded/duplicated lanes, 38 pedestrian overpasses (28 built by Concer, triple the contract requirement), 14 bridges and viaducts, and 230+ slope stabilization works. The company maintained continuous ISO 9001 certification since 2001. Concer ceased BR-040 operations at 23:59 on November 3, 2025, when the concession was transferred to successor operator Elo Vias.
