“Anything that is dry cargo that does not involve any type of controlled merchandise, is susceptible to getting on the railway, the only difference is that the company must be organized and have its processes, because the train will have different transit times than the road. ; more economical, safe and ecological, but transit times are different,” he indicated.
He considered that nearshoring will also be part of its growth due to the development of the supply chain, both for the transportation of raw materials and finished products.
