EasyLease expands into railways and smart mobility with 60% acquisition of United Trans

EasyLease (ADX: EASY LEASE), a leading integrated mobility provider and subsidiary of International Holding Company (IHC), acquired a 60% stake in United Trans—a rail and transportation technology solutions provider and part of Alserkal Group. The move advances EasyLease’s position in regional mobility and strengthens delivery for large-scale transport and infrastructure programmes. United Trans, founded in 2008, contributes technology-led solutions across rail, smart mobility, aviation, and marine, including security screening. It has supported landmark projects such as Etihad Rail, Dubai Metro, Dubai Tram, Dubai Airport People Mover, and Doha Metro, as well as smart mobility initiatives including on-demand bus services in Dubai, Ajman, and Abu Dhabi. CEO Ahmad Al Sadah described the transaction as a milestone in redefining mobility and shaping the future of transportation across the GCC and broader MENA—combining capabilities to meet evolving customer needs in rail and transport. United Trans Managing Director Raed Abu-Hijleh noted the partnership will drive innovation and efficiency as the region’s mobility sector evolves. The acquisition deepens EasyLease’s service portfolio and is intended to unlock synergies with existing leasing, logistics, and technology assets while broadening the group’s footprint in the transportation sector.
