history

The group emerged from the merger of Veolia Transport with Transdev in March 2011 and was initially called Veolia Transdev . Veolia Environnement and the state-owned Caisse des Dépôts (CDC) held half of the company's shares .

An IPO was originally planned within 12 months of the merger. During 2011 it was announced that Veolia wanted to sell its 50% stake. The planned sale failed, however, and in October 2012 CDC announced that it would increase its stake to 60 percent as part of a capital increase, so that Veolia's stake was reduced to 40 percent. In March 2013 the part of the name Veolia was deleted from the company, since then the company is only called Transdev . As part of this transaction, it was originally intended that Veolia would acquire a 66% stake in the ferry company SNCM from Transdev.
