About the brand ❤️
Freightliner Group is a major British rail freight and logistics company headquartered in Birmingham, England. Originally created from the UK’s state‑owned British Rail operations, it was privatized in 1995 and has since grown into one of the United Kingdom’s largest rail freight operators, providing both intermodal container transport and bulk haul services across the UK, continental Europe, and Australia. The company’s core business is moving freight by rail between major ports and inland distribution hubs, offering services for global shipping customers and heavy industrial sectors like aggregates and cement. Over the years Freightliner Group expanded through modernization of its locomotive fleet and strategic growth, becoming a key part of Britain’s open‑access rail freight market. Ownership has included private equity and, since 2015, control via Genesee & Wyoming under the investment of Brookfield and GIC, reflecting a globally integrated logistics profile. Portions of its rail operations, particularly in the UK intermodal segment, are in the process of transitioning to new ownership by the CMA CGM Group, but Freightliner Group continues to operate in multiple freight markets under its established identity.
