Grupo Concesionario del Oeste

What Grupo Concesionario del Oeste does

Grupo Concesionario del Oeste is an Argentine highway concessionaire that operates as Autopistas del Sol S.A., trading under the brands Autopistas del Oeste and AuOeste. Founded in 1993 and headquartered in Ituzaingó, Buenos Aires Province, the company manages 60 kilometers of highway infrastructure connecting the western suburbs of Buenos Aires province with Buenos Aires City, traversing seven municipalities in the conurbano bonaerense. The concession serves more than 380,000 vehicles per day and provides ancillary services including 24-hour road emergency response (dial 140), toll exemptions for persons with disabilities and Malvinas war veterans, and an online patent/penalty payment portal.

The company's core product is TelePASE, an electronic toll collection system that uses a windshield-mounted sticker (OBU) to enable automatic toll debit and online account management via the telepase.com.ar portal. A complementary payment method, Pago Electrónico, allows contactless toll payment using Visa/MasterCard debit/credit cards or NFC-enabled mobile devices at purple-signed lanes, with automatic barrier opening. Customer service is delivered through multiple digital channels, including the corporate website, dedicated self-service portals, social media (LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, X, YouTube), and WhatsApp.

The business model is direct-to-consumer and transaction-based: revenue is generated primarily from per-passage toll fees that vary by vehicle type and highway section, with electronic payment options designed to reduce wait times. Customer acquisition occurs through digital channels and physical toll plaza interactions. The company also engages in public-facing road safety initiatives, notably through its 2025 partnership with CESVI Argentina on the annual Road Safety Observatory study and related campaigns. Operational scope is entirely domestic, limited to the Buenos Aires Province western corridor.
