Road - Mexico

Road freight transportation, led by trucks, is the primary force in moving goods, thanks to their versatility and ability to reach diverse destinations, making them indispensable for the freight industry. Crucially, it forms the backbone of last-mile delivery, ensuring goods reach their final destinations, be it homes or businesses.

This market covers a varied fleet, from small delivery vans to large trucks, offering services ranging from express deliveries to full truckloads. However, road transportation poses environmental challenges, contributing to emissions and congestion. To address this, there's a push towards adopting greener technologies like electric and hydrogen-powered vehicles.

The surge in e-commerce has notably heightened the demand for road transportation services, with direct deliveries to consumers' homes becoming a central aspect. Operating both globally and locally, the road transportation market uses long-haul trucking for global logistics networks and local services for the crucial last-mile connectivity.

Adapting to changes in consumer behavior, technology, and the wider economic landscape, the road transportation market is dynamic. Embracing new technologies and sustainable practices is key for its ongoing success.
