The global transportation industry comprises a large and diverse universe of businesses. Encompassing the traditional air, ground and maritime carriers, related manufacturing and service businesses, logistics, and the automotive sector, the industry presents numerous opportunities for knowledgeable private equity investors and like-minded partners to work together to achieve their commercial, strategic and investment objectives.

The global transportation industry is undergoing profound change. Financial pressures are forcing the divestiture of high-quality, non-core assets. Changing regulatory structures are creating new opportunities for those who understand their implications. Globalization is increasing the demand for transportation services. Technology is leading to greater efficiencies and enhanced service levels. And security concerns have taken on increased prominence.

The result is an industry in transition, where opportunities to create sustainable long-term value exist for investors, superior management teams and other partners who understand the industry’s shifting dynamics and have the strategies and financial resources to capitalize on them.
