Autocorb

What Autocorb does

Autocorb S.A. is a privately held Spanish road passenger transport operator headquartered in Corbera de Llobregat, Barcelona, founded in 1922 and operating continuously for over 100 years. The company runs two core service lines: (1) concessionary scheduled public transport comprising intercity regular lines (e8, 560, 566, 574) connecting Corbera de Llobregat and La Palma de Cervelló with Barcelona, Molins de Rei, and two hospitals (Moisès Broggi and Sant Boi), plus urban bus lines L1-L4 within Corbera de Llobregat; and (2) charter coach and minibus hire covering individuals, schools, travel agencies, companies, cultural associations, and incentive groups. Fleet spans 4-seat saloons, 6-seat minivans, 15-28-seat minibuses, 50-60-seat standard coaches, and 72-seat XL coaches, with a stated average fleet age under 6 years and 80% of regular-service vehicles adapted for reduced-mobility passengers.

The company is organized around direct customer engagement via phone, email, website, and a Google Play mobile app, supported by integrations with Google Maps and Moovit for route discovery. It holds ISO 9001, 14001, 39001, 45001, and UNE 13816 certifications and operates a multilingual staff team with in-house mechanics and engineering personnel. Revenue mechanics span recurring fare and concession revenue from regular lines, quote-based charter bookings, school transport contracts, airport/port/hotel transfers, advertising space on buses, and large-group corporate transfers.

Technology and AI capability are built through three consecutive ACCIÓ Industry 4.0 grants (2020-2022): an origin-destination matrix demand model from ticketing data, computer vision passenger counting at vehicle doors, and AI image recognition for bus-stop passenger counting. The company has additionally secured EU Recovery, Transformation and Resilience Plan funding (2022) for fleet electrification through vehicle scrapping and acquisition of ecological vehicles. There are no disclosed funding rounds, M&A activity, subsidiaries, or external investors in the input data; Autocorb appears to remain an independent, family-rooted operator.

Regional players

• MonBus: Spanish regional bus group operating scheduled and charter services primarily in Galicia and other autonomous communities. Comparable to Autocorb on combined regular-line concession and coach hire model, though geographically outside Catalonia.
• SARFA: Catalan bus operator (part of Grup Sagalés) running regular scheduled lines and coach charter services across the Costa Brava and Girona region. Comparable to Autocorb as a regional Catalan operator combining concessions with charter hire.
• Sagalés: Catalan regional bus operator offering regular intercity and urban services plus charter coach hire, headquartered near Barcelona. Highly comparable to Autocorb on Catalan geographic focus and dual scheduled/charter business model.
• Hispano Igualadina: Long-established Catalan bus operator running regular intercity lines and charter services, based in Igualada. Highly comparable to Autocorb on Catalan regional scheduled/charter profile and multi-decade operating history.
• La Veloz / Linebus (Catalan concession operators): Independent bus operators running regular concession lines in Catalonia and Aragón with charter capability, comparable to Autocorb as small-to-mid concession-based regional carriers.
• Empresa Casas: Family-run Catalan/Spanish bus operator offering regular intercity service and coach hire, similar in profile to Autocorb as an independent family-owned road transport company in the region.

Direct peers

• FlixBus: Pan-European intercity bus and coach platform operating scheduled services in Spain, including Barcelona-area routes. Comparable to Autocorb on scheduled intercity service and increasingly on price-competitive long-distance coach, but with app-driven scale and cross-border network.
• ALSA: Spain's largest road passenger transport operator (part of National Express Group), offering both scheduled intercity lines and charter coach hire across the country. Directly comparable to Autocorb on dual scheduled/charter model, although at vastly larger national scale.

Broad incumbents

• TMB (Transports Metropolitans de Barcelona): Public operator of Barcelona's metro, bus, tram and funicular network. Comparable to Autocorb on Barcelona-area public bus services but a public-sector incumbent with vastly larger scope and asset base.
• Avanza (Autobuses Urbanos): Major Spanish bus group operating urban, intercity and charter services across multiple regions with a large fleet. Comparable to Autocorb on services offered but at much broader regional and national scale.
