RMweb Premium John M Upton Posted July 2, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 2, 2019 Speculation I have seen so far is that Freightliner could be sold, again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold TravisM Posted July 2, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 2, 2019 I wouldn’t worry too much as Brookfield Infrastructure is a company that specialises in utilities, transport, energy and infrastructure; so G&W (and Freightliner) would probably fit right into their portfolio.
