SPAIN - Another transport player for Doughty Hanson's fleet
After closing its first deal in Spain by acquiring transport group Avanza, Doughty Hanson is said to be considering a bid for another transport company.
Reports suggest that the firm is considering a bid of around EUR 600m for Continental Auto, the bus division of local infrastructure and services group Actividades de Construccion y Servicios. If the acquisition goes ahead, Avanza will retain a market share of around 7%. The current sector leader is Alsa, owned by UK-based National Express, with a market share of 9%.
