Case reference: CE/9349-10
Start date: September 2010
The OFT is investigating suspected cartel activity in the UK involving commercial vehicle manufacturers. The investigation is being carried out under the the Competition Act 1998. The investigation is at an early stage. The OFT will not be in a position to conclude whether it considers the law has been infringed until it has completed its investigation and assessed the available evidence.
The OFT also carried out a parallel criminal Enterprise Act investigation, closed in December 2011.
As part of its investigations, the OFT is requesting any person with information that may be relevant to its investigations to telephone the cartels hotline on 0800 0851664 or e-mail cartelshotline@oft.gsi.gov.uk. Calls and e-mails will be treated in the strictest confidence.
In particular, the OFT would be interested to hear from any person who may have information relating to suspected contacts between individuals from competing commercial vehicle manufacturers operating in the UK.
