This acquisition confirms the shared commitment from Freightliner and CMA CGM to building a stronger, more integrated and sustainable intermodal offering for the UK and for customers worldwide.
Freightliner consists of 10 terminals, circa 1.4 meter rail slots and 2,000 wagons, and owns one of the largest fleets of electric locomotives in the UK.
Freightliner will remain a standalone, multi-user, multi-customer intermodal service provider serving the UK intermodal logistics market with a national sustainable network reducing thousands of tonnes of CO₂ emissions.
Heavy Haul Rail, previously part of The Freightliner Group, will operate independently, remaining under the current shareholder ownership.
This is the same for European businesses, Rotterdam Rail Feeding and Freightliner PL and DE, which will continue to operate independently from Freightliner Ltd, also remaining with current shareholder ownership.
