Akiem, a leading European provider of locomotive and passenger train leasing and maintenance services, has secured EUR 285 million in new financing to support its expansion across European markets.
The financing, arranged with the support of BNP Paribas as advisory bank, will contribute to the acquisition of new rolling stock assets, bolstering Akiem’s growth strategy and that of its customers throughout Europe.
The legal advisory for Akiem was provided by Linklaters, with a team led by partners Reza Taylor and Bertrand Andriani. The investor pool received support from teams at Clifford Chance.
Akiem operates a fleet of over 750 locomotives and 42 passenger vehicles, offering solutions that cover the entire rolling stock value chain. With more than 100 customers in 22 European countries, the company employs nearly 400 staff members, primarily based in France, Germany, Poland, Sweden, Italy, Hungary, and the United Kingdom.
The company maintains a comprehensive industrial ecosystem, certified as an Entity in Charge of Maintenance (ECM), relying on a pan-European network of workshops and substantial inventories of spare parts to ensure the maintenance and reliability of the rolling stock supplied to its customers.
Akiem is owned by CDPQ, a global investment group committed to the development of low-carbon infrastructure.
