Growth Drivers for

Our Investments

Explosive E-Commerce

Shifting consumer behavior is driving continued, explosive growth in e-commerce and a need to invest in first, middle and last-mile transportation infrastructure to ensure timely and efficient delivery of these goods.

Decarbonization of Transportation and Industrial Businesses

The transportation and industrial sectors will require trillions of dollars of investment from both public and private investors in the coming years to achieve decarbonization goals. Rapid technological advancements are driving the energy transition, necessitating continued investment to reduce emissions in the decades ahead.

Persistent Geopolitical Uncertainty

Rising geopolitical tensions are driving companies to pursue re-shoring and on-shoring strategies to mitigate risks of manufacturing disruptions, fueling increased demand for transportation infrastructure investments.

Fixing Global Supply Chains

The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the lasting impact of chronic underinvestment in transportation-related aspects of the global supply chain. We expect trillions of dollars in public and private sector investments to upgrade supply chains in the coming decades.

Corporate Balance Sheet Efficiency

Large corporations are increasingly focused on capital efficiency and are moving away from owning capital intensive equipment on balance sheet, a trend we expect to accelerate in the years ahead.
