Baker McKenzie advises Knorr-Bremse on takeover of TRAVIS

Baker McKenzie has advised Knorr-Bremse on the acquisition of the Dutch company TRAVIS Road Services International B.V. (TRAVIS), a leading online booking platform for road services for commercial vehicle operations. The purchase price amounts to a mid-double-digit million-euro sum. Closing took place last week.

"With our integrated Corporate/M&A team, we were once again able to provide our client with comprehensive support in this transaction. The acquisition of TRAVIS is an important step for Knorr-Bremse towards digitalization and increased efficiency in the aftermarket business for commercial vehicles. The integration of the TRAVIS platform will offer workshops, fleets and drivers clear added value and expand Knorr-Bremse's digital service offering in a targeted manner," commented Jakub Lorys, Corporate/M&A Partner in Munich, the lead partner on the transaction.

TRAVIS is a fast-growing booking platform for truck-related road services in Europe. Its customers benefit from simple search, booking and invoicing of road services such as parking, cleaning, charging and repairs. The platform currently lists more than 3,500 service partners in 26 European countries who offer their road services via the TRAVIS platform.
