Fines are reported to be in the region of £2.6 million.
The infringements in question involve the distribution of Commercial vehicles in the north of England, Scotland and Wales and related to market sharing, price coordination and exchanging of commercially sensitive material.

The full details of the offences committed are yet to be disclosed.
