The expense for maintenance per kilometer of Autostrade per l'Italia's infrastructure, the note explains, is around 108 thousand euros per year (2013-2017 period), equal to 5 times more than the expenditure made by Anas on its network (19 thousand euros per year between 2013 and 2016) and 3 times higher than comparable French and Spanish dealerships. Autostrade per l'Italia, according to the company's note, "is the only large-scale concessionaire company in the world to have introduced the general draining asphalt (much more expensive in terms of construction and maintenance)".
Aspi underlines that it has "also invested huge resources for safety with the development of the tutor system, the first in the world. The set of projects and safety initiatives adopted by the company has reduced the mortality rate on its network more than it has occurred for every other concessionaire ".
