Brazil toll operators raise rates and test electronic free‑flow system

The Eixo SP concessionaire will increase toll rates on June 4 2026 at its plazas in Paraguaçu Paulista and Rancharia. The adjustment follows a 4.39% rise in the IPCA index and was approved by the São Paulo State Transport Agency (Artesp) under the concession contract. Drivers using electronic tags keep a 5% discount, and a progressive Frequent‑User Discount can reduce the fee by up to 90% after 30 passes in a month.

Motiva Paraná has begun assisted operation of a new free‑flow electronic toll system on May 22 2026 at the PR‑445 km 2 point in Tamarana and the BR‑376 km 292 point in Mauá da Serra. The first ten days are toll‑free; full charging starts on June 1 2026 at R$10.80 for cars, vans, buses and trucks per axle, with motorcycles fully exempt. A double‑pass rule prevents drivers from being charged twice within two hours when crossing both portals in the same direction.
