The Ente Autonomo Volturno S.r.l. , also known by the acronym EAV, is a company that operates in the sector of public transport by road, rail and cableway, in the Campania Region.

Contents

It was born in 1904 on the initiative of the municipality of Naples as an independent body for the construction and management of a hydroelectric plant on the Volturno river, completed in 1909 and operational since 1916. Subsequently the body entered various other sectors including that of public transport with the purchase, in 1931, of the Azienda Tramviaria of the Municipality of Naples. Subsequently, it performed the tasks of contracting station and group which included railway and automobile transport operators as well as cable cars, such as Circumvesuviana, MetroCampania NordEst and SEPSA. In 2012, on the initiative of the Campania Region, it incorporated the aforementioned companies, taking over the management of services as both infrastructure manager and railway company.
