and has 10 operating locations throughout Germany.
TCH has a fleet of 1,200 trucks and 1,800 trailers servicing approximately 3,000 customers and has an outstanding reputation throughout Germany for providing industry-leading products and services to its growing base of customers. In 2006, TCH was named "Best Rental and Leasing Company in Germany" by readers of EuroTransportMedia magazine. "Paccar's acquisition of TCH will enable PFS to continue to profitably expand its financing and leasing of DAF products," said Ken Gangl, Paccar senior vice president. TCH provides an excellent infrastructure to establish and grow PacLease in Europe.
