AUTOLINEE GIACHINO S.R.L.

What AUTOLINEE GIACHINO S.R.L. does

Autolinee Giachino S.r.l. is a family-owned regional public transport operator headquartered in Villanova d'Asti, in the Piedmont region of Italy, with continuous operations dating to 1920. The company runs extraurban bus services across the provinces of Torino, Asti, and Cuneo, holding a primary-operator role in the North-West sector of the Asti basin under a concession framework administered by the Consorzio Astigiano and regulated by the Agenzia della Mobilità Piemontese (AMP). Key scheduled routes include Alba-Torino, Asti-Torino, Asti-Alba, Asti-Villanova, Asti-Chivasso, Villanova-Chieri, and Asti-Rivalta di Torino, supplemented by an on-demand service (Servizio a chiamata Pianalto Astigiano) covering smaller municipalities in the Villanova d'Asti area and a separate nationwide charter-bus rental business (noleggio) under the Autoturismo Giachino brand.

The company operates a fleet of approximately 60 vehicles, of which roughly 80% are now Euro 6 diesel, electric, or CNG powertrains acquired through six procurement lots totaling approximately €8.2 million in recent years, including one small electric and five 70-seat CNG interurban buses co-funded by Regione Piemonte. Its technology stack centers on the MOEVES BUS mobile app (launched January 2025) for ticket and subscription sales with QR-code validation, a real-time infomobility service activated February 2025, and integration into the MaaS Piemonte regional super-app for cross-operator ticketing. The company also holds UNI EN 13816:2022 quality certification for public line transport service and is GDPR-compliant.

Revenue derives from three streams: regulated public transport service contracts with the Consorzio Astigiano / AMP network, retail ticket and subscription sales (on board, at the Villanova d'Asti ticket office, via authorized resellers, and through MOEVES BUS), and charter bus rental with driver offered throughout Italy. Tariffs for scheduled services are set annually by AMP under Delibera n. 8/2026 with inflation-linked adjustments. Ownership sits with Giachino Holding S.r.l., under which Enrico Giachino serves as President, and the company is structured as a single-member S.r.l. (a socio unico) with approximately 10 corporate employees — the operating model relying on contracted drivers rather than a large employed workforce.

Emerging players

• Itabus: Italian intercity bus operator focused on long-distance routes across multiple regions including connections to Turin. Comparable as a competitor for interurban passengers in the same Piedmont corridors served by Autolinee Giachino.
• FlixBus Italy: Pan-European low-cost intercity coach operator with significant Italian network including Piedmont routes. Comparable as a competitor in long-distance and interurban passenger transport, though operating a fundamentally different asset-light model vs Autolinee Giachino's owned-fleet approach.

Direct peers

• Autostradale S.r.l. Italian interurban and charter bus operator, historically serving routes between Lombardy and northern regions including Piedmont. Comparable as an intercity scheduled bus operator with similar operating model to Autolinee Giachino's core line services.
• Arriva Italia: Italian arm of Arriva (Deutsche Bahn) providing regional bus services in northern Italy. Comparable as a regional scheduled bus operator competing for similar interurban concession contracts in Piedmont and adjacent regions.
• Gruppo Torinese Trasporti (GTT): Public transport operator in the Turin metropolitan area providing urban and suburban bus services. Directly comparable as a Piedmont-based public bus operator with overlapping service territory on Asti-Torino and Turin basin routes that Autolinee Giachino serves as a sub-affidataria.
• La Linea Verde (Pavia): Family-owned Italian bus operator providing scheduled interurban and charter services in Lombardy and adjacent regions. Comparable to Autolinee Giachino as a similar family-owned regional scheduled bus operator with charter side-business.
• Consorzio Astigiano ASTI Servizi Pubblici: Public transport operator managing Asti-area urban and suburban bus services. Directly comparable as the consortium entity alongside which Autolinee Giachino operates the North-West Asti basin concession.

Broad incumbents

• Busitalia (FS Group): Subsidiary of Italian state railway group Ferrovie dello Stato operating urban, suburban and long-distance bus services across multiple Italian regions. Comparable as a large incumbent concession-holder in regional public bus transport with public-tender experience similar to Autolinee Giachino.

Regional players

• Autoservizi Irpini (AIR Campania): Regional scheduled bus operator in Campania providing extraurban public transport services under regional concession. Comparable as a regional concession-based interurban bus operator with similar service model, though operating in southern Italy.

Others

• 5T S.r.l. (Infomobilità Torino): Turin-based technology provider delivering real-time infomobility and MaaS platforms for Piedmont public transport. Comparable as the technology ecosystem underpinning Autolinee Giachino's infomobility service and MaaS Piemonte integration.
