SNC-Lavalin Rail & Transit (Interfleet Technology until 2015) is an international rail consultancy company headquartered at Derby England. It was founded in 1994. In October 2011 the company was acquired by SNC-Lavalin. In January 2016 the company was renamed when it became integrated under the main SNC-Lavalin brand.

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 Rail 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.

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.

The company logo for Interfleet has also changed throughout its history as shown below.
