Yeah... Freightliner is part of DaimlerChrysler... as well as Sterling Trucks, and the SETRA buses.. and Fuso.

GM/GMC also used to make buses and trucks. Ford made/used to make those "aeroliners" or whatever the heck they were called big rigs.

Volvo... tho not part of FoMoCo... still makes trucks.
