# Brazil Free Flow toll system expansion and adoption > Live situation record from CLSTR: https://clstr.news/situations/brazil-free-flow-toll-system-expansion > Updated: 2026-09-10T15:40:23.000Z. Sources: 50. Developments: 6. Brazil is expanding its ‘Free Flow’ toll system, which utilizes cameras and sensors on gantries to replace traditional toll booths. This technology is currently active on more than 19 highways, with further implementations planned for major corridors through 2027. Data from ANTT and ABCR indicates that free-flow technology is expected to be implemented on 3% of the country's conceded highways by 2027. Specific expansions include the BR-040 highway, where the concessionaire Elovias is scheduled to begin operations of a ‘Free Flow’ system on November 4, 2026, at km 831 in Simão Pereira, Minas Gerais. This will replace the conventional toll plaza at km 819.3. To avoid penalties, drivers without electronic tags must pay via the Elovias website or app within 30 days. Experts stress the importance of clear communication to prevent fine surges, noting that the ANTT previously had to cancel over 800,000 fines on the Rio-Santos highway due to driver unawareness of new charging methods. As the system grows, cybersecurity and physical security risks have intensified. Beyond fraudulent websites, authorities warn that the real-time data collected by gantries—including vehicle location, timing, and routes—creates a map of national logistics that could be targeted. This digital vulnerability is linked to physical crime; the 2025 Global Cargo Theft Report suggests that 22% of global cargo thefts are facilitated by information leaks or internal involvement. ## Claims - The CNH do Brasil app now allows users to consult free flow toll passages and payments. (corroborated by 3 sources) - Fourteen concessionaires currently operate the free flow system with Senatran approval. (corroborated by 2 sources) - The free flow model uses cameras and sensors to identify vehicles without requiring them to stop at toll booths. (corroborated by 2 sources) - Serpro and Senatran launched the Senatran Electronic Toll platform. (single source) - Users cannot pay tolls directly within the CNH do Brasil app; the app directs them to the concessionaire's payment channel.
