Penske Automotive Group, Inc., a diversified international transportation services company, announced has entered into an agreement to acquire Kansas City Freightliner (“KCFL”), a retailer of medium and heavy-duty commercial trucks.  The KCFL acquisition is expected to generate $450 million in annualized revenue, building further scale within the Company’s wholly-owned Premier Truck Group subsidiary.

Closing of the transaction is expected during the second quarter of 2021 and is subject to customary closing conditions.
