Autostrade is the exclusive supplier of electronic tolling systems to motorway concessionaires in Italy • Local Partnerships • A key element for the success of the Austrian Project was that Autostrade capitalized on the local expertise and set up strong partnerships with some experienced local firms.

12. Success factors: proven technology • The Austrian system is the first global country-wide multilane free-flow tolling system to come on line; • The microwave technology is the most developed technology for tolling in the world, being its reliability proved in 28 countries around the world; • Europe: approx. 10 million users across 10 Countries (50% in Italy) • Japan: approx. 4 million users (2004) • USA: programs for distribution of several millions On-Board-Units over the next five years • The Austrian toll system relies upon the same core technologies proven in the Italian system; • Technical compatibility among existing ETC systems in EU shall be achieved by means of multi-standard On-Board-Units (Autostrade is the first producer of a Dual Mode On Board Unit - Telepass & CEN TC278).

13. From a Vignette System to Real Tolls: Revenues increase The 82% increase in total toll revenues collected by ASFINAG in 2004 over 2002 is almost completely dueto the introduction of dynamic tolling for commercial vehicles. year Total: € 1,170 million + 82% 762 296 112 2004* Revenues from Go-Boxes 73 308 Annual Tax (until 2003) Total: € 642 million 261 2002 Revenues from Vignette Revenues from special toll sections € million 0 500 100 200 300 400 600 700 800 900 1,000 1,100 * Based on actual data for 2004 ( source: ASFINAG )

16. Autostrade in Poland: Tenders • The Consortium Autostrade-Stalexport has reached the pre-qualification stage in the tender regarding the concession for the design, construction, finance, operation and maintenance of the A2 tolled motorway at the Strykow-Warsaw section (95 Km) • Besides, Autostrade has been pre-qualified, in consortium with Stalexport and Polimex, to the 2 separate tenders for thedesign and installation of tolling and traffic management systems, as well as O&M the infrastructure on 2 motorway sections currently operated by the Polish Roads Agency (GDKKiA): • A2 motorway, section Konin-Strykow (104 km.) • A4 motorway, section Wroclaw-Katowice (187 km.) A2 Konin – Strykow (104 km.) (Tolling tender, Autostrade-Stalexport-Polimex prequalified) A2 Strykow-Warsaw (96 km.) (BOT tender, Autostrade-Stalexport prequalified) A4 Wroclaw-Katowice (187 km.) (Tolling tender, Autostrade-Stalexport-Polimex prequalified)

17. Transition path proposed for heavy vehicles tolling in Poland • VIGNETTE • Current system on most of the Polish motorway network for heavy vehicles; • Not economically efficient because fees are not tied to effective use; • No Added revenues with additional kilometers traveled; • Compensation paid to Concessionaires is expected to exceed revenues from Vignettes already by 2009; • Not flexible (payments based only on period of use not on other utilization criteria); • Potential State Aid according to EU legislation; • Enforcement is a critical issue. Direct installation of Free-Flow Tolling for Heavy Vehicles on un-tolled motorways ETC on already tolled motorways (currently only manual system) as a transitional step to install free-flow in a 2nd phase • No need to spend money to install toll stations; • No congestion at toll stations, less environmental pollution as cars do not have to stop; • High enforcement rates (see Austrian case); • Lower capital and operating costs compared to traditional toll infrastructures. • ETC reduces congestion and increases vehicle throughput at the toll stations; • ETC reduces operating costs. • Fairness (pay-as-you-go); • Flexibility (allows congestion pricing based on zones or hours); • More economically efficient for the State (+82% yoy revenues increase in Austria after real toll introduction); • With distance-based charging, new kilometers result in new revenues. Advantages of Electronic Toll Collection/ETC compared to Vignette
