The concessions surpassed the milestone of 200 million paying equivalent vehicles. In terms of logistical services, the Company signed a purchase and sale contract for expanding its activities in Paraná.

In 2011, consolidated traffic totaled 200,344,000 paying equivalent vehicles and 89,172 containers were handled in ports and airports.

During the year, EcoRodovias conducted a number of initiatives to prevent and minimize impacts, making its highways safer. Convoys were organized to avoid serious accidents during foggy periods; specific operations and inspection of special cargoes were carried out; awareness campaigns focused on the use of wearing seatbelts, regular vehicle maintenance, defensive and citizenship-aware driving techniques were taught; technical training and simulations for employees were run.

Events that occurred during the course of the year, including multi-vehicle pileups, cargo spillage and strong rains that impaired traffic, were overcome successfully because the group maintains teams that are prepared to confront risk situations.

Moreover, EcoRodovias carried out maintenance projects to ensure that the highways it administers are in perfect conditions, using innovative paving technology with rubberized- and polymer additive-asphalt; safety solutions; and the adoption of Safety and Fluidity Process indicators, which measures monthly accident rates, among others.

Elog signed a purchase and sale contract in November for the acquisition of Maringá Armazéns Gerais Ltda. and Maringá Serviços Auxiliares de Transporte Aéreo Ltda., a R$15 million operation that will expand the Company’s activities in customs clearance areas for air cargo and integrated logistical services in Paraná.
