THE Bridge of Rio – Antirio, member of the VINCI Highways Network, is the first concession company in Greece to offer a new discounted e-pass subscription program, exclusively for electric vehicles. From 1 February and for the whole of 2024, on the occasion of the 20th anniversary of the Bridge, the GREEN E-pass will provide a discount of 34% on every crossing for electric vehicles of category 2. The new discount program highlights the company’s commitment to serves its users by offering them a wide range of options, including specially designed discount products aimed at frequent flyers and especially local users.
The new discount program is part of VINCI Highways’ plan of environmental initiatives to increase the environmental performance of its network in order to contribute to the decarbonisation of mobility on the motorways it manages worldwide. This plan has two priorities: the reduction of direct CO₂ emissions from highway operation (scopes 1 and 2) and the provision of specific solutions and innovations to drivers to reduce their own carbon footprint (scope 3).
The Rio-Antirio Bridge has already achieved a 78% reduction in direct CO₂ emissions since 2018. With the introduction of the new Green E-pass program, the company seeks to further contribute to the reduction of users’ emissions (scope 3).
At the same time, the company, continuing to invest in the improvement of the services provided, provides the possibility for subscribers of electronic programs to digitally sign the contracts for all e-pass products. The digitized signature process applied for the first time in Greece in e-pass programs, contributes to the further reduction of the environmental footprint, by eliminating approximately 10,000 postal exchanges per year.
THE Panos Lucas, CEO of GEFYRA, said: “By making available the new discount program for electric passenger vehicles, we are contributing to the achievement of VINCI Highways’ goal of decarbonizing mobility in Greece. As 2024 marks the 20th anniversary of its launch
Rio-Antirrio Bridge, we are proud to continue to innovate, offering high quality services to our users and the areas that the Bridge connects”.
