Emovis is the mobility services subsidiary of Abertis, the international leader in toll road management. Launched as a brand in 2016, Emovis draws on over 40 years of tolling heritage dating back to Sanef (Societe des Autoroutes du Nord et de l'Est de la France), which Abertis acquired in 2005. With over 850 employees across seven countries, Emovis delivers end-to-end solutions for free-flow tolling, road user charging (RUC), congestion charging, and low-emission zone management. The company has successfully deployed tolling projects in more than 10 countries including the United States, United Kingdom, Ireland, Canada, France, Netherlands, Chile, Qatar, and Puerto Rico. Emovis is the leading operator of road user charging programs in the United States, running three active RUC programs in Oregon, Utah, and Virginia. The company has been the back-office technology provider for Oregon's OReGO program since its launch in 2015, implemented Utah's RUC scheme for alternative fuel vehicles, and operates Virginia's Mileage Choice Program (launched July 2022, extended through 2028). In Washington State, Emovis delivered a 12-month RUC pilot in 2018 with 2,000 volunteers, testing multi-jurisdictional interoperability with Oregon and Canadian participants. Emovis is wholly owned by Abertis Infraestructuras, which in turn is controlled by Italian infrastructure group Mundys (formerly Atlantia) and Spanish construction conglomerate ACS Group (via Hochtief). Abertis manages over 8,000 kilometres of toll roads across 15 countries in Europe, the Americas, and Asia. In 2025, Emovis opened a new North American headquarters in Miami, Florida, appointed Isabella Galeano as CEO of North America, and inaugurated a new global headquarters in Barcelona, Spain under Global CEO Christian Barrientos.
