January 29, 2026 – London
The Selective European Transportation Equipment Fund (“SETEF”), a private equity infrastructure vehicle focused on environmentally aligned freight transportation assets across Europe, is pleased to announce it has completed the acquisition of a new fleet of 69 railcars, comprising T3000e Pocket wagons for the intermodal transport of semi-trailers, swap bodies and containers as well as Light Commercial Vehicle “LCV” carrier wagons designed to meet e-commerce growth and the rising demand for last-mile electric delivery with EVs and hybrids.
This new investment underscores the Fund’s commitment to support its leasing counterparties with long term financing of their modernised transportation equipment needs. By partnering with leading industry operator Touax Group and its technical and commercial capabilities across the rail freight sector, the Fund seeks to deliver long-term sustainable investments and inflation-linked returns for its shareholders. It again exemplifies SETEF’s focus on essential core transportation infrastructure that is income-generating and aligned with the EU’s modal shift and decarbonisation goals.
To date, SETEF has deployed long-term capital into rail and river freight transportation assets across Europe, comprising a variety of freight wagons and inland river barges. This diversified asset base reflects SETEF’s strategy of building modern, interoperable, and environmentally aligned transportation infrastructure that supports Europe’s green logistics transition.
Vincent Tournant, Managing Partner at Advisors & Partners, commented:
“We continue to carefully and selectively build a high-quality portfolio of freight transport assets that can generate long-duration, stable cash flows as we deploy capital through the best-in-class operating capabilities of SETEF’s asset management platform. This latest acquisition reinforces our disciplined strategy to invest in essential, ESG-aligned assets with embedded operational value that support Europe’s transition to sustainable freight transport.”
