Steative
I agree in general but the sale was 10% of the whole investment, reducing ROADs holding from 75 to 65%. Still a game changer investment which can increase the JV share (per previous announcement), pay down borrowings and fund further road side investments.
Don't forget that ROAD is also being paid and incentivised to operate the JV by Meadow Partners

ROAD sold 5 per cent of their holding at 6 million pound. They made two point seven million profit on their original two point seven million investment. They still have a holding of sixty five per cent which on today's prices means they can draw thirty nine million. That would give them substantial leverage going forward.

Super-strength roads to contain miracle material graphene
Grant Prior 11 mins ago
Share

Graphene could soon be used to resurface and build new roads.

Highways England chiefs have linked-up with the Graphene Engineering Innovation Centre (GEIC) to see how the wonder material can improve the road network.

Graphene is up to 200 times stronger than steel and just one atom thick.

Highways England believes adding graphene into maintenance and renewals operations has the potential to extend asset life and make the network perform at an “industry changing level.”

They will now work with the GEIC to explore the operational and road user benefit of incorporating graphene into assets such as road surfacing and road markings as well as help to drive the development of a low carbon and digital road network.

Paul Doney, Innovation Director at Highways England said: “We are really excited about the opportunity to explore leading edge materials and what this might lead to for our road network.

“GEIC is at the forefront, having made the discovery here in Manchester, and by building a collaboration with our operations teams who understand the challenges, we are looking to deliver improved safety and performance of our roads.”

German construction company Hochtief has confirmed a takeover bid for Spanish toll road operator Abertis.

The bid, made at 18.76 euros per share, equates to a total of 17.1 billion euros ($20.1 billion).

Hochtief says it will issue 24.79 million new shares to help fund any takeover.

The Spanish firm ACS is the parent company of Hochtief.

Following the announcement, shares in Hochtief rose more than 3 percent.

The latest bid rivals an earlier offer of 16.3 billion euros from Italian road toll firm Atlantia.

..New Road Tax Plan For Motorways And A-Roads

View Photo.New Road Tax Plan For Motorways And A-Roads
....Drivers who use motorways could be charged a higher rate of road tax than those who stick to slower routes.

According to reports, motorists face a two-tier road tax under proposals being considered by the Government.

It has been suggested that drivers could be offered a lower rate of the tax if they agree not to use the country's trunk road network of motorways and major A-roads.

Those paying a higher rate of vehicle excise duty would be free to use any roads.

Proponents say a network of automatic number-plate recognition cameras could be used to catch any drivers who were using the motorways without paying the higher rate.

A Department For Transport (DFT) said: "The department and Treasury are currently carrying out a feasibility study to review new ownership and financing models for the strategic road network.

"This is looking at how best we can secure investment in the network to increase capacity and boost economic growth."

Activists have long sought to explore revenue generation options for road users.

Concepts have included expanding toll booths across the motorway network and a system based on mileage.

The DFT spokesman added: "The Government has made clear it will not implement tolls on existing road capacity and has no plans to replace existing motoring taxes with pay-as-you-go road charging."

EU Sets Rules For Electronic Payment Of Road Tolls Across EU





BRUSSELS -(Dow Jones)- The European Commission Tuesday established rules to encourage a single system for electronic toll payments on European Union roads.

Several E.U. countries use electronic payments on toll roads, but these systems generally aren't useable across the bloc's borders, according to the commission, the E.U.'s executive arm.

A road trip to Denmark from Portugal requires five or more on-board units on a vehicle's dashboard, the commission said.

In the U.S., by contrast, E-ZPass, an electronic toll-payments system designed to link New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania, now works with toll roads in 11 other states.

The commission wants a single E.U. system in place for heavy trucks and passenger buses within three years, with wider availability for passenger cars within five years.

"The European Electronic Toll Service will enable road users to easily pay tolls throughout the whole European Union thanks to one subscription contract with one service provider and one single on-board unit," European Commissioner for Transport Antonio Tajani said in a statement.

The 1.5M Road Pricing Petition faces hostility from the Cabinet.

Douglas Alexander does not think much of the 1.5 M people who signed the petition.
According to Scotland on Sunday, ".. impied that many of you who signed up to the petition had little idea of what you were doing. You are unaware of the issues. You don't appreciate the scale of the transportation difficulty ...
You had swallowed the propoganda of a rabble of petrol-heads ( yes!) who had employed rat-like internet cunning. "
'He didn't quite SAY you were all thick, but that was the only possible inference'
Norman Harper, reporter, Motoring page of the Business Suppliment.


In the same paper is a report that the Scottish Executive will attempt to bring in Road Pricing alongside an abandonment of Road Vehicle Licence Duty in Scotland BEFORE Westminster. There would also be a reduction in Scottish pump price as licence duty would also reduce there. If it were introduced in Scotland it would inevitably fowwow in England and Wales. A price of £1.26 per mile is advocated for trunk roads /motorways at peak times. WHihc 'may well see thousands of cars taking to single-carriage country roads toa void payment' a move that would greatly increase accidents.

The idea of tracking every vehicle at all times is sinister and wrong. Road pricing is already here with the high level of taxation on fuel. The more you travel - the more tax you pay.

It will be an unfair tax on those who live apart from families and poorer people who will not be able to afford the high monthly costs.

Please Mr Blair - forget about road pricing and concentrate on improving our roads to reduce congestion.

Vinci swoops to conquer in French toll-road sell-off


 


  By : Ross Tieman in Toulouse December 11, 2005  


FRENCH construction group Vinci will this week emerge as Europe's largest operator of toll roads, carrying off the plum in a E15bn ($17.5bn, £10bn) auction of French state owned toll-road assets.

The company has bid E6bn for 51% of France's biggest toll-road company, Autoroutes du Sud de la France. A successful bid will make Vinci the European leader, with 4,104km of roads under management. It would push it ahead of Italy's Autostrade, controlled by the Benneton family which hitherto enjoyed sector leadership with 3,408km network and a capitalisation of E11.3bn. Vinci already controls France's fourth largest toll-road company Cofiroute.

Autostrade is hoping to improve its position through its minority position in a consortium bid, worth E4.8bn, for 72% of French second largest operator Groupe APRR. The Italian group has teamed up with the French state investment bank, Caisse des Dépôts et Consignations (CDC), and insurers AGF, Predica and AXA to bid for APRR, which operates 2,260km running from Paris down to the Rhône Valley and Côte d'Azur.

French finance minister Thierry Breton may be tempted to give second prize in his selloff to French construction group Eiffage, builder and operator of the spectacular Millau Viaduct. Eiffage has teamed up with Australia's Macquarie Investment Group to make a rival bid for a controlling stake in APRR, a E6bn company twice its size.

Another beneficiary from the sell-off looks to be Abertis Infrastructuras, which operates 1,574km of Spanish toll roads, 68% of the country's network. Controlled by La Caixa bank and construction group ACS, Barcelona-based Abertis is an aggressive consolidator, owning 7% of Autostrade and 10% of Portuguese quoted toll-road group Brisa. Abertis, backed also by the CDC, Predica and AXA, plus Peugeot family holding FFP, has outbid all comers in the auction of Sanef, the state-controlled French road company that takes motorists south and east from Calais, offering E4bn for the 76% stake on offer.

Adding Sanef's 1,743km network will almost double the size of Abertis' operations and confirm the global ambitions of a group that runs two shadow toll roads in Britain, the 21km A1-M and 52km A419/417, as well as 433km in Latin America.

Thanks to the Continental European toll-road tradition, mainland road operators and construction groups are emerging at the head of a stock market sector that offers pre- dictable revenues, surprising growth prospects through diversification into management of other infrastructure assets and the possibility of more consolidation.

Under French rules, winners in the government auction will be obliged to bid for minorities in all three quoted road operators. Investors in Sanef, floated this spring, will see its shares valued more than 30% above the price they paid, and those who bought ASF and APRR shares earlier will also see a tidy profit crystallised. But in practice, each winner is likely to keep the quote.

To the embarrassment of the French government, Vinci boss Antoine Zacharias positioned himself to be the sole bidder for ASF by scooping up 23% of its shares in the market after it was floated in 2002.

That audacity will now pay off as he extends its European horizons. In addition to controlling Cofiroute, Vinci has 42% of the Dartford crossing operator, as well as owning and operating the two Severn toll bridges between Bristol and Cardiff.

The consolidation of transport infrastructure operators will take a leap forward this week, but that won't be the end of it.
