VTG has agreed to sell its UK wagon leasing subsidiary, VTG Rail UK, to the Universities Superannuation Scheme (USS), one of the UK’s largest pension funds.

The sale is expected to complete in the fourth quarter of 2026 and requires no regulatory approval.

 

VTG Rail UK has grown significantly over the past four years, establishing itself as a leading provider in the UK rail freight market. Under USS ownership, the business is expected to continue investing in its fleet, customer relationships and the long-term development of rail freight in the UK.

 

VTG said the sale will allow the Group to focus its capital and management resources on expanding its wider European operations.
