Penske was awarded in the Lead Logistics Provider (LLP) category for services provided in Mexico, and for Dedicated Delivery Service (DDS) efforts to transport service parts to GM dealerships in the U.S.  

“I applaud our associates for the creative solutions that they engineered during a trying time. We are very thankful to GM for recognizing our hard work and dedication," said Marc Althen, Penske Logistics president.
