In a context of car carrier shortage in Mexico due to high demand for transporting finished vehicles, Nissan Mexicana has taken a significant step by launching a fleet of semi-trucks and car carriers.
According to the Basic Statistics of Federal Road Transport from the General Directorate of Federal Road Transport (DGAF), by the end of 2023, there were a total of 9,900 registered car carrier units, with an estimated deficit of 1,500 to meet the demand of the local and export markets.
Nissan’s fleet includes 101 semi-trucks, with which the company aims to improve its logistics and response to the needs of the current market.
Joan Busquets, Vice President of Manufacturing at Nissan Mexicana, commented that the company “has an expert logistics team that is key to the competitiveness of Nissan’s plants. The acquisition of these semi-trucks is a result of the trust our customers have placed in the brand. This action aims to streamline the effectiveness of our processes in order to deliver vehicles with the highest quality.”
In that sense, the new fleet will allow the company to optimize its logistics processes and ensure more efficient and timely delivery to its over 230 distributors nationwide. The implementation of these transports has also generated 150 direct jobs.
With over 60 years in the market, this automaker has established a strong presence in the Mexican automotive industry. Its plants in Aguascalientes A1, Aguascalientes A2, and CIVAC in Morelos have a production capacity of up to 2,369 units per day.
This move responds to the need to improve internal logistics and represents a commitment to economic and social development in the regions where the brand operates.
