History Formation and early years Interfleet Technology was formed in April 1994, as part of the privatisation of British Rail. Interfleet originated from the former InterCity Fleet Engineering division of the British Rail engineering and technical headquarters, which managed the rolling stock operated by the then InterCity sector of British Rail. From April 1994 to March 1996, the company traded as a subsidiary of the British Railways Board, then in March 1996, Interfleet was privatised by means of a Management and Employee Buy-Out, led by its directors. At the time of privatisation, the firm employed 99 staff and had one office in Derby. Turnover at that time was approximately £5 million. In October 2011, Interfleet was acquired by the SNC-Lavalin Group. Rebranding and integration of Interfleet In January 2016, Interfleet Technology was re-branded as SNC-Lavalin Rail & Transit. This integration also brought together SNC-Lavalin's Transit Engineers in Vancouver and Toronto and the Transport Systems team in Montreal to form a new group SNC-Lavalin Rail & Transit.
