History

TransVolution started out as a rail consulting and equipment design business.[5] It moved into rolling stock leasing and then rail operations with the acquisition of Masked Fox in 2014. TransVolution is yet to commence operating freight trains.[6]

On 31 August 2015, TransVolution received accreditation from the National Rail Safety Regulator.[7][8] As at 12 March 2020, TransVolution Operations Pty Ltd is accredited to operate rolling stock in Victoria, New South Wales and South Australia.[4]
