Knorr-Bremse has completed the acquisition of Travis Road Services International B.V. (TRAVIS), advancing its Commercial Vehicle Systems (CVS) Service Platform.
The purchase of the Dutch online booking platform for road services for commercial vehicle operations, such as parking, cleaning, charging, and repairs, was announced in October 2025.
The purchase price amounts to a mid-double-digit million-euro sum.
With its booking platform for road services, TRAVIS fits perfectly into the forward-looking aftermarket ecosystem and forms a key component for additional combined service offerings designed to boost efficiency.
Bernd Spies, Member of the Executive Board of Knorr-Bremse AG and responsible for the Commercial Vehicle Systems Division said: “With the acquisition of TRAVIS, we are strengthening the growth of our high-margin aftermarket business and accelerating the expansion of our digital CVS Service Platform.
“Our goal is to significantly increase the efficiency of all market participants — through greater transparency and intelligently networked data and services. We warmly welcome the TRAVIS employees to Knorr-Bremse and look forward to jointly unlocking further potential in the field of digital services.”
Jochem de Graaf, CEO, TRAVIS Road Services International B.V. said: “Joining Knorr-Bremse marks an exciting new chapter for TRAVIS.
“From day one, we have focused on making truck services more accessible, transparent, and efficient for the entire transport ecosystem. As part of Knorr Bremse, we can accelerate at scale, expand our network, deliver even smarter solutions to our customers and partners across Europe and beyond.”
On LinkedIn, De Graaf said the finalisation of the sale was a “milestone I look back on with pride and excitement and for sure one I’ll never forget.”
“Who could have imagined that eight years later, our company, now yet known as TRAVIS Road Services, would have grown into Europe’s market leader in bookable truck services?,” he added.
“This isn’t the end of something. It’s the start of accelerated growth. We’re beginning a new chapter together with Knorr-Bremse AG, who recognized themselves in our vision. They will help Travis accelerate, not only with our existing parking and washing services, but also in the area of Truck Repair & Maintenance.”
