Penske buys 500 Freightliners

Updated Oct 14, 2025

Penske Truck Rental announced this week the addition of 500 new Freightliner tractors to its commercial truck rental fleet, all featuring Eaton’s UltraShift Plus MHP automated transmissions. The transmission uses an electronic clutch actuator to provide faster shifting and smoother engagement and engages the clutch at idle, giving the driver control in challenging situations. Penske provides businesses with sleeper and day-cab semi-tractors, straight trucks, flatbeds, refrigerated vans, trailers, and more. To rent a truck from Penske, visit the website or call 1-800-PENSKE-1.
