We were commissioned by Rock Rail to undertake commercial due diligence on the acquisition of a fleet of 31 x 6-car Altom Talent 3 Plus Electrical Multiple Units (EMUs) in 2024. The fleet was to be leased to operate on the Baden-Württemberg and Saale-Thuringia-Southern Harz (STS) networks in Germany.

The fleet was another successful investment from Rock with ABRDN Core Infrastructure supporting Germany’s development of sustainable public transport through the delivery of state-of-the-art energy efficient fleet. Private infrastructure capital is expected to play a key role in supporting rolling stock growth, replacing ageing fleets, and developing the country’s sustainable rail market.

Diem Bradley, Associate Director commented “We are uniquely placed to support transport transactions with commercial and technical M&A due diligence, refinancing and green field investments. Our team has the best-in-class expertise in the rail and rolling stock market in the UK and Europe, having supported transactions with most major rolling stock, both passenger and freight, leasing companies and operators in the UK and Europe.”
