• Knorr-Bremse signs contract to acquire leading online booking platform for road services for commercial vehicles;
• Next milestone on the path to a holistic aftermarket ecosystem.
Knorr-Bremse today announced the acquisition of Dutch company TRAVIS Road Services International B.V. (TRAVIS), a leading online booking platform for road services for commercial vehicle operations such as parking, cleaning, charging, and repairs. The purchase price amounts to a mid-double-digit million-euro sum. The closing is expected to take place by the end of Q1 2026.
Bernd Spies, Member of the Executive Board of Knorr-Bremse AG and responsible for the Commercial Vehicle Systems division: "With the acquisition of TRAVIS, we are taking the next step toward a holistic and digitized aftermarket ecosystem. At its core is the goal of increasing the efficiency of repair and maintenance processes for commercial vehicles along the entire value chain. In the future, we want to leverage and significantly expand the full market potential of digital services for our customers. This will enable us to create real added value for workshops, fleets, and drivers while strengthening our partnership and interaction. With its digital platform, TRAVIS ideally complements the existing elements of the ecosystem and forms an important building block for further combined services to increase efficiency in day-to-day business."
With this acquisition, Knorr-Bremse is now investing in the attractive and growing market for services via online platforms. To expand its position in the field of digital and data-driven aftermarket solutions, Knorr-Bremse has held a majority stake in the Spanish company Cojali S.L. since November 2022. Knorr-Bremse now has a leading diagnostics provider in its portfolio and will continue to develop its range of digital services that increase the availability of customers' vehicle fleets.
