We appreciate the support and guidance the Liberty team provided throughout our process and are thrilled to have secured a well aligned partnership with our new and ongoing shareholders.

Michael Sewards
Group CEO of Kinetic and Chair of The Go-Ahead Group
The transaction marks a major milestone in the evolution of the transport and infrastructure sector, bringing together one of the world’s leading zero-emission transport operators with a global investor focused on accelerating decarbonisation and energy transition initiatives.
Kinetic operates across Australia, New Zealand, the UK, Ireland, the Nordics and Asia, and is the 51% owner of London-listed Go-Ahead Group. The company runs more than 12,000 buses and 400 trains worldwide, including one of the world’s largest electric bus fleets, with more than 1,500 zero-emission vehicles in service.
Kinetic is a standout example of Australian leadership building a world-class platform in a sector undergoing rapid transformation. We’re proud to have played a role in supporting management through such a defining moment in the company’s journey.
