Trinity Capital Inc. has committed £25 million in growth capital to Motorway, a leading online used‑car marketplace that connects independent sellers with a network of more than 7,500 verified dealers across the United Kingdom. The investment, announced on February 2, 2026, is intended to accelerate Motorway’s platform expansion, deepen dealer partnerships, and fund product‑innovation and customer‑experience initiatives.
Motorway’s model streamlines the used‑car transaction by matching sellers directly with interested dealers, bypassing traditional intermediaries. The platform’s reach to 7,500 dealers gives it a broad distribution network, while its technology stack enables real‑time pricing and inventory visibility, positioning Motorway to capture a larger share of the UK’s growing online‑car‑sales market.
Trinity Capital’s investment aligns with its international growth strategy, which focuses on high‑growth, technology‑enabled marketplaces outside the United States. The firm reported a Q3 2025 earnings per share of $0.52 and revenue of $75.55 million, both in line with or above analyst expectations, underscoring its disciplined capital deployment and strong financial health. The £25 million stake adds a geographically diversified asset to Trinity’s portfolio of more than 445 investments and $5.1 billion in deployed capital across five lending verticals.
Management said the capital will be used to scale the marketplace model, enhance technology offerings, and pursue sustainable profitability. Craig Fox, Managing Director – Europe at Trinity Capital, noted that Motorway is “redefining the way cars are sold in the UK by putting simplicity, speed, and value at the core of each transaction.” CFO Liz Kistruck added that the partnership will help Motorway “scale efficiently and reach sustainable profitability.”
The investment signals confidence in Motorway’s ability to grow its dealer network and improve margins through technology‑driven efficiencies. For Trinity Capital, the deal reinforces its commitment to backing innovative, high‑growth companies in international markets and demonstrates its capacity to support portfolio companies through significant growth phases.
