Highlights

Throughout 2009 there was a further slow down in the value and volume, year on year, of M & A deals in the transportation industry as the economic recession and subsequent lack of credit availability and reduced profitability within the industry further took its toll on the amount of financial deals being concluded.

In the first half of 2009 with the economic recession reaching its climax and the transport industry's freight volumes and profitability for all major firms in the transport industry hitting rock bottom, deal activity, especially cross-border, returned to lower levels compared with the previous year where it featured heavily.

The number of deals involving Chinese-based companies decreased the least over 2009 although some of the largest deals occurred in Germany.
