In our country, 80% of the cargo is transported through trucks, which play a very important part in logistics, this is due to the lack of rain and rail infrastructure in the Mexican Republic. On the other hand, the rivers that cross the entire country are not navigable and there is no interest on the part of the private or government sector to invest in them. This only takes us to a single dependence, which is road transport; causing a great impact on both production and consumption sectors. According to the latest study carried out by the Banco mundial, it places our country with a precarious and insufficient logistical performance. Compared to other markets such as European/Asian markets, ranking 57th out of 160 internationally.
Why does double trailer exist, or also known as full service in Mexico?
The full service in Mexico is an option to optimize transfers in ton/km costs, being a more efficient option for payload, carrying out movements with a weight of up to 50 tons, unlike a simple service (a single tractor with a box) that transports 32.5 tons. The analysis of this variation results in that if we replace fulles with singles, there is up to 50% more savings in km traveled; since the single shows a higher cost of 26% compared to a full one, avoiding contaminants in such transfers. Making this service an optimal link within the supply and logistics chain within national trade and freight shipping.
