China Merchants Expressway Network & Technology Holdings Co.,Ltd.

Chinese highway investor and operator with smart-transport technology arm

What China Merchants Expressway Network & does

China Merchants Expressway invests in, builds and runs toll highways across China, collecting toll revenue from the roads it owns or holds stakes in. Alongside the roads themselves, it sells engineering and consulting services — design, construction contracting, project management and inspection — to other transport projects. A newer technology arm builds intelligent transportation systems, traffic information services and software, and the company also runs side businesses such as photovoltaic power generation, hotels and pipeline-corridor leasing along its road assets.

How China Merchants Expressway Network & makes money

Core earnings come from toll collection on the expressways it owns or invests in, plus dividends and investment returns from stakes in other highway operators. Additional revenue comes from engineering and consulting fees, smart-transportation products and software, fund management, and ancillary uses of roadside assets such as solar power, hotels and pipeline leasing.
