Ecovias do Cerrado GRUPO ECORODOVIAS

What Ecovias do Cerrado GRUPO ECORODOVIAS does

Ecovias do Cerrado is a Brazilian toll road concessionaire operating under the Grupo EcoRodovias umbrella, responsible for administering 437 kilometers of the BR-364 and BR-365 federal highways. The concession is granted and regulated by ANTT (Agencia Nacional de Transportes Terrestres), with tariff structures set through quinquennial contract reviews including public hearings. The company is headquartered in Santa Monica, Uberlandia (Minas Gerais) and employs approximately 224 staff.

The service portfolio spans the full highway concession lifecycle: 24-hour traffic monitoring via a dedicated Control Center (CCO), traffic inspection, emergency mechanical and medical response, user service centers (SAU), fire-fighting along the right-of-way, animal seizure, special cargo permits, vehicle weighing (Pesagem), and a public road works agenda. The Pedagio Digital electronic tolling system enables cashless payment. Customer-facing channels include a website, multiple social media profiles, an 0800 emergency line, WhatsApp, and an Ouvidoria (ombudsman) channel.

Revenue is generated almost exclusively from regulated toll collection fees charged per vehicle passage, with rates varying by vehicle category and axle count and adjusted via ANTT quinquennial reviews. There is no enterprise sales motion; the customer base consists of dispersed individual travelers and cargo transport operators using the corridor. Strategic positioning is anchored to the EcoRodovias parent brand and coordinated regional operations with sister concession Ecovias Minas Goias, including joint road safety and social campaigns (Maio Amarelo, Faca Bonito).
