Thanks to the framework agreement reached with Mexico’s Ministry of Infrastructure to invest €1.2 billion in a strategic infrastructure improvement plan, Abertis doubles the duration of the concession of its subsidiary Red de Carreteras de Occidente (RCO), extending it from 22 to over 41 years and strengthening its long‑term stability.

Our Asset Company, a global leader in infrastructure and mobility management, has reached a framework agreement with Mexico’s Ministry of Infrastructure, Communications and Transport (SICT) to develop an investment and road infrastructure improvement plan in the country through its subsidiary Red de Carreteras de Occidente (RCO), one of Mexico’s leading motorway operators.

The project is part of a federal programme —“Plan Michoacán for Peace and Justice”— launched in November 2025 to strengthen security and foster social and economic development in the state of Michoacán, and aligned with Plan México. It will contribute to improve key infrastructure, improving mobility and road safety, and consolidating long-term collaboration with the Government of Mexico. 

As part of this agreement, the FARAC I concession is expected to be extended by approximately 19 years, effectively doubling RCO’s concession life from 22 to 41 years. The agreement also includes an additional tariff increase to be implemented over the next four years, and to remain in effect for the entire term of the concession. 

This 799-kilometre concession runs along the backbone of the road network in the central-western region, connecting the country’s main industrial corridor, El Bajío, with its two largest cities, Mexico City and Guadalajara. FARAC I generated revenues of €638 million in 2025 and has been in operation since 2007.
