M6 Tolna, a consortium led by Bilfinger Berger Project Investments (BBPI) has been awarded a contract to develop the middle section of the M6 Motorway between Dunaujvaros and Szekszard. The consortium will assume responsibility for financing, design and construction for the €520 million project. BBPI is providing €24 million in equity. The 65km of motorway will include 60 bridges, 8 slip roads, 4 service stations, 4 rest areas and an Operations and Maintenance centre.

This project is the largest Hungarian PPP contract to date and has received Business of the Year Award from Project Finance International (PFI) Magazine for the Europe, Middle East and Africa region. Contract signing and financial close were completed in record time: seven and a half months from issuing the invitation to tender, this is an outstanding achievement among projects of this magnitude.
