PROFILE |
 |
Penske, headed by race-car legend Roger Penske, seems to be on the right track as a diversified transportation firm. Closely held Penske has stakes in Penske Truck Leasing Company (79%-owned by GE Capital), the US's #2 truck-rental operation, after Ryder. Penske Automotive operates five car dealerships in California and owns nearly 60% of publicly traded United Auto Group, which runs about 120 franchise dealerships. Penske owns 15% of electronic fuel-injection system maker Diesel Technology (Robert Bosch owns the rest) but has sold its 49% stake in truck engine maker Detroit Diesel. The company operates its Penske Auto Centers in more than 630 Kmart stores. Roger Penske owns 59% of the company.
