Transdev, formerly Veolia Transdev, is a France-based international private-sector company which operates public transport.{{cite web |url = https://www.lefigaro.fr/societes/2010/05/05/04015-20100505ARTFIG00719-veolia-transdev-nouveau-leader-du-transport.php |title = Veolia-Transdev nouveau leader du transport |first = Fabrice |last = Amedeo |date = 6 May 2010 |website = lefigaro.fr |access-date = 26 February 2022 }} It has operations in 17 countries and territories as of November 2020.{{Cite web |title = Worldwide operations |url = https://www.transdev.com/en/about-us/our-locations-world/ |access-date = 25 November 2020 |website = Transdev |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20201125004846/https://www.transdev.com/en/about-us/our-locations-world/ |archive-date = 25 November 2020 |url-status = live}}

Transdev was formed on 3 April 2011 via the merger of Veolia Transport and Transdev S.A., being initially equally owned by Veolia Environnement and Caisse des Dépôts et Consignations (CDC), the former soon announced plans to divest its holding in the business. Early priorities of Transdev were to largely focus upon its four core markets (France, the Netherlands, Germany, and the United States) while disposing of its less profitable ventures based in most other countries to consolidate. At the time of merger, Transdev operated in 27 countries to varying extents. During January 2019, Veolia sold on its remaining 30% shareholding in Transdev to the Rethmann Group; the company has since integrated some of its subsidiaries with those of Transdev.

History

Transdev was formed through the merger of Veolia Transport and Transdev on 3 April 2011.{{cite web |url = http://www.veoliatransdev.com/fr/espace-medias/communiques/2011-03-03,finalisation-veoliatransdev.htm |title = Communiquée de presse - Naissance du 1er acteur privé mondial de la mobilité durable |date = 1 March 2011 |publisher = veoliatransdev.com |access-date = 5 April 2011 |language = fr |url-status = dead |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20110516225656/http://www.veoliatransdev.com/fr/espace-medias/communiques/2011-03-03,finalisation-veoliatransdev.htm |archive-date = 16 May 2011}} Veolia Environnement and Caisse des Dépôts et Consignations (CDC) had 50% shareholdings. It was initially planned for the company to be sold by an initial public offering, potentially accompanied by a rebranding, within 12 months of the merger.

On 6 December 2011, Veolia Environment, seeking to reduce debt and focus on its core businesses of water, waste and energy, announced a €5 bn divestment program over 2012/13 that would include a sale of its share in Veolia Transdev within two years.{{cite web |url = http://www.finance.veolia.com/docs/Presentation-Investor-Day-2011-en.pdf |title = Investor Day 2011 |date = 6 December 2011 |access-date = 27 December 2011 |url-status = dead |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20120303065231/http://www.finance.veolia.com/docs/Presentation-Investor-Day-2011-en.pdf |archive-date = 3 March 2012 }} At the time of the announcement, Veolia Transdev declared its intention to concentrate on four main markets (France, the Netherlands, Germany, and the United States), to develop its presence in the United Kingdom, Asia and Australia and to divest from other countries and other activities amounting to about 9–10% of global revenue in 2012/13. After this announcement, the Caisse des Dépôts et Consignations, for its part, officially reiterated its commitment to Veolia Transdev and its continued support as a shareholder to the group's development.{{cite press release |title = La Caisse des Dépôts confirme son engagement auprès de Veolia Transdev |url = http://www.caissedesdepots.fr/fileadmin/Communiqu%C3%A9s%20de%20presse/cp/cp_engagt_veolia_transdev.pdf |publisher = Caisse des Dépôts |date = 6 December 2011 |access-date = 28 December 2011 |url-status = dead |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20120610200623/http://www.caissedesdepots.fr/fileadmin/Communiqu%C3%A9s%20de%20presse/cp/cp_engagt_veolia_transdev.pdf |archive-date = 10 June 2012 }}

During early 2012, it was reported that Cube Infrastructure, a fund controlled by the French bank Natixis (Groupe BPCE), was likely to acquire about half of Veolia's stake in Transdev. The Caisse des Dépôts would take over the other half.{{cite news |title = Le fonds Cube est favori pour acheter la participation de Veolia dans Transdev |url = http://www.latribune.fr/entreprises-finance/services/transport-logistique/20120229trib000685548/le-fonds-cube-est-favori-pour-acheter-la-participation-de-veolia-dans-transdev.html |newspaper = La Tribune |date = 29 February 2012 |language = fr |access-date = 29 February 2012}} In October 2012, this was later changed to Caisse des Dépôts acquiring 10% of the shares from Veolia.{{cite web |url = http://www.caissedesdepots.fr/en/news/all-the-news/half-year-2009-2010-sales-up-10-on-a-reported-basis-03-like-for-like/evolution-project-for-the-shareholding-of-veolia-transdev.html |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20140911153101/http://www.caissedesdepots.fr/en/news/all-the-news/half-year-2009-2010-sales-up-10-on-a-reported-basis-03-like-for-like/evolution-project-for-the-shareholding-of-veolia-transdev.html |archive-date = 11 September 2014 |url-status = dead |title = Evolution project for the shareholding of Veolia Transdev |publisher = Caisse des Dépôts |access-date = 11 September 2014}} However, this reported acquisition was not implemented. Following the sale of Transdev subsidiary SNCM in late 2015, CDC and Veolia continued talks about selling Veolia's stake in the joint venture.{{cite news |url = http://uk.reuters.com/article/uk-veolia-strategy-transdev-idUKKCN0VI0M3 |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20160817162711/http://uk.reuters.com/article/uk-veolia-strategy-transdev-idUKKCN0VI0M3 |url-status = dead |archive-date = August 17, 2016 |title = Veolia says resumed talks with CDC about Transdev exit |newspaper = Reuters |date = 9 February 2016 |access-date = 2 July 2016}} In December 2016, CDC finally bought 20% shares from Veolia.{{cite web |url = https://www.transdev.com/en/press/Transdev-Shareholder-agreement-finalized-between-the-Caisse-des-Depots-and-Veolia |title = Transdev: Shareholder agreement finalized between the Caisse des Dépôts and Veolia |date = 22 December 2016 |publisher = Transdev |access-date = 3 March 2017}} As a result, Veolia's share became 30% while CDC's share became 70%.

In October 2018, Veolia announced its intention to sell its remaining 30% shareholding to the Rethmann Group.{{cite web |url = https://www.metro-report.com/news/business/single-view/view/veolia-to-sell-transdev-stake-to-rethmann-group.html |title = Veolia to sell Transdev stake to Rethmann Group |publisher = Metro Report International |date = 2 October 2018}} The transaction was completed during January 2019, with Rethmann increasing its shareholding to 34% by adding its Rhenus Veniro subsidiary to the Transdev portfolio.{{cite web |url = https://www.railwaygazette.com/news/business/single-view/view/veolia-out-of-transport-as-rethmann-acquires-transdev-stake-1.html |title = Veolia out of transport as Rethmann acquires Transdev stake |publisher = Railway Gazette International |date = 11 January 2019}}

In December 2024, it was announced that Rethmann Group planned to increase its shareholding to 66% with Caisse des Dépôts et Consignations' to reduce its to 34%.[https://www.caissedesdepots.fr/en/news/exclusive-negotiations-evolution-transdevs-shareholding Exclusive negotiations on the evolution of Transdev's shareholding] Caisse des Dépôts et Consignations 16 December 2024

In 2013, CEO Jérôme Gallot confirmed that Veolia Transdev would consolidate its operations down to 17 countries.{{cite web |url = http://www.busnews.com.au/news/articleid/84379.aspx |title = Veolia Transdev rebranded and repositioned |publisher = Australasian Bus & Coach |date = 3 July 2013}} As of November 2020, Transdev operates in 17 countries spanning across five continents. The list only counts sovereign countries and therefore excludes New Caledonia (France). Jersey, a British Crown dependency and Hong Kong (China), were previously also not counted for the same reason. Veolia Transdev (and Transdev) operated MyBus operations until 2012 and Hong Kong Tramways until 2020 respectively.

Additionally, Transdev is a shareholder of Transamo, a transport engineering and consultancy firm in Europe that was inherited from the old Transdev.{{cite web |url = https://www.transdev.com/ressources/publications/1/46858bb-3328-POE-Light-Rail-GB-WEB-09-2017.pdf |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20180122031300/https://www.transdev.com/ressources/publications/1/46858bb-3328-POE-Light-Rail-GB-WEB-09-2017.pdf |archive-date = 22 January 2018 |title = Light Rail Portfolio of Expertise (2017) |publisher = Transdev |access-date = 22 January 2018 |url-status = live}}{{cite web |url = https://www.transdev.com/ressources/publications/1/468529f-3314-POE-BHNS-GB-WEB-09-2017.pdf |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20180122030048/https://www.transdev.com/ressources/publications/1/468529f-3314-POE-BHNS-GB-WEB-09-2017.pdf |archive-date = 22 January 2018 |title = Bus Rapid Transit Portfolio of Expertise (2017) |publisher = Transdev |access-date = 22 January 2018 |url-status = live}}{{cite web |url = https://www.transdev.com/ressources/publications/1/4ba71a3-3332-POE-RAIL-GB-WEB-11-2017.pdf |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20180122030201/https://www.transdev.com/ressources/publications/1/4ba71a3-3332-POE-RAIL-GB-WEB-11-2017.pdf |archive-date = 22 January 2018 |title = Passenger Rail Portfolio of Expertise (2017) |publisher = Transdev |access-date = 22 January 2018 |url-status = live}}{{cite web |url = http://www.transdevtsl.com.au/content/pdf/TAR_2008.pdf |title = Transdev Annual Report 2008 |access-date = 28 January 2018 |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20091016110918/http://www.transdevtsl.com.au/content/pdf/TAR_2008.pdf |archive-date = 16 October 2009 |url-status = dead}} It specialises in the project management of public transport projects in France.

Transdev owned 66% of SNCM, a French ferry company operating in the Mediterranean. However, as of 2014, Transdev was planning to sell its shares.{{cite web |url = http://uk.reuters.com/article/uk-veolia-sncm-idUKKBN0E61AB20140526 |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20160306162318/http://uk.reuters.com/article/uk-veolia-sncm-idUKKBN0E61AB20140526 |url-status = dead |archive-date = March 6, 2016 |title = Veolia's Transdev in talks with Unishipping about SNCM sale |publisher = Reuters |access-date = 11 September 2014}} SNCM was finally sold to a Corsican firm Rocca Group in late 2015 and was renamed Maritima Ferries in January 2016.

Transdev inherited from Veolia Transport the Jerusalem Light Rail project that Veolia Environment had been trying to dispose of since at least 2009.{{cite news |url = http://english.themarker.com/dan-suing-as-veolia-rides-with-egged-1.326654 |title = Dan suing as Veolia rides with Egged |newspaper = The Marker |author = Avi Bar-Eli |date = 25 November 2010 |access-date = 27 December 2011 |url-status = dead |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20101128114728/http://english.themarker.com/dan-suing-as-veolia-rides-with-egged-1.326654 |archive-date = 28 November 2010 }}

In December 2011, the agreed sale of the Jerusalem Light Rail to Egged was reported to have been held up by the Israeli state. However, Egged will need Veolia's expertise for at least five years to run the light rail successfully. The sale was finally approved in August 2015.{{cite news |url = http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/ed506b0c-4f37-11e5-b029-b9d50a74fd14.html#axzz3wNc5ZiHd |title = Transdev exits Jerusalem light rail project |newspaper = Financial Times |date = 30 August 2015 |access-date = 6 January 2016}}
