Giovanni Oddo, head of Americas, traditional infrastructure at Mubadala, said: “Mubadala’s investment in TEN reflects our commitment to critical assets that drive economic growth and offer long-term value. The trailer leasing market shows great potential with its rapid demand growth and strong market fundamentals.”
