History

[edit]

CGEA Transport

[edit]

The company was established on 1 January 1997 asCGEA Transport,created from thepublic transportbusiness of Compagnie Générale d'Entreprises Automobiles (CGEA), which was a subsidiary ofCompagnie Générale des Eaux(CGE).[2][3]

CGEA was previously acquired by CGE in 1980, and its waste management and environmental services division was already rebrandedOnyx Environnementin 1989, leaving CGEA with only the transport business.[3]Compagnie générale française des transports et entreprises(CGFTE) was also acquired by CGE in the 1980s, was also absorbed into CGEA in 1988.[4][5]

Vivendi, Connex and Veolia

[edit]

CGE, the ultimate parent company, was later renamed toVivendiin 1998, and createdVivendi Environnementin 1999 to consolidate its environmental divisions including the transport division. Vivendi Environnement was renamed Veolia Environnement in 2003.

As a result, the name of CGEA Transport was rebrandedConnexin 1999, adopting the brand that itsSouth CentralandSouth Easternrail franchises inSouth East Englandhad traded under since 1996.[6]In 2005, as a result of global rebranding of all Veolia Environnement subsidiaries, Connex was renamedVeolia Transport.[7][8]Some operations such asConnex Melbourneretained the Connex name and logo.

In 2007, the group posted revenues of €5.6 billion,[9]and soldVeolia Cargo,the rail freight branch of Veolia Transport in 2009 toSNCFandEurotunnel.[10]

A merger between Veolia Transport andthe old Transdevwas announced on 23 July 2009.[11]Transdev was then a subsidiary ofCaisse des Dépôts.The merger was completed in March 2011. Veolia Transdev became the world's private-sector leader in sustainable mobility with more than 110,000 employees in 28 countries.[12]Veolia Transdev was renamed and simplified to Transdev in 2013.

In July 2011, amid disappointing financial results, Veolia Environnement announced the launch of new restructuring plans and redeployment of assets and businesses.[13]In December 2011, Veolia announced a €5bn divestment program in 2012 and 2013.[14]As part of this programme, Veolia would divest its participation in Transdev and exit the transport business altogether. In January 2019, Veolia sold the last of its Transdev shares to the Rethmann Group, the owner ofRhenus.[15]
