PLAYA DEL CARMEN, Q. ROO. – Within the framework of the summit meeting of transport users, the National Freight Transport Forum, Daimler Truck México shared its strategy to achieve the transformation of the industry, which has various layers of attention.
Claudio de la Peña, Director of Sales and Marketing at Daimler Truck México, commented that although the members of the National Association of Private Transportation (ANTP) are pioneers in technological adoption issues, they must have support to identify what that route will be. .
Within the framework of the #24ANTP Forum, Daimler Truck Mexico announced that starting in 2025, the e360 will be in its product portfolio, a mid-range electric vehicle, which meets the safety standards of the most demanding companies in this matter.
Marcela Barreiro, president and CEO of the company, expressed that the incursion of this vehicle will be carried out hand in hand with customers to understand the forms of operation, types of load of the unit and the development of the ecosystem to achieve that in the total cost of operation the result is the best.
Even for the incursion of the e360 into the Mexican market, the consulting will not be charged initially to Mexican transporters , and that will be the added value that Daimler Truck México will be delivering, commented Jorge Vargas, director of Market Development and Portfolio of Product.
The managers stated that in the case of these units, they will work hand in hand with giving a full lease and although there are uncertain issues, such as the resale value, there are other certainties such as a greater length of their first useful life than It can go from eight to 10 years , achieving that the point of balance and profitability is anticipated.
The managers of Daimler Truck Mexico have anticipated that 2025 will be the time when they incorporate the Freightliner e360 into the Mexican market.
Freightliner Link Acceleration
With the aim of addressing the conditions in which motor transport operates, the launch of Enlace Freightliner 3.0 was announced, where Artificial Intelligence (AI) works to contribute to efficiency with carriers, but also to be more accurate. regarding threats.
“Enlace Freightliner 3.0 allows us to offer a solution that reduces reaction times and with greater precision, making better use of data, one of the issues is certainty and effectiveness,” shared Marcela Barreiro.
According to the directive, the main benefits of this version is that it has remote actions to promote the safety of operators, as well as vehicles and loads, since the best face identification is within the capabilities of the cameras. and weapons.
“The system seeks to prevent and predict asset security, where AI learns from each operation cycle, through the generation of data and new archetypes, the system is scalable and dynamic,” described Claudio de la Peña.
The update from Freightliner Link 2.0 to 3.0 will occur starting in October through the after-sales areas, while starting in 2025 it will be incorporated into the Freightliner range models.
Currently, Enlace Freightliner has more than 34,000 connected units, with nearly 1,300 customers, which together generate more than 10 billion kilometers analyzed by telemetry.
Enlace Freightliner is Daimler Truck México’s telemetry solution for the national market, given that Daimler Trucks North America’s solution did not meet the characteristics and conditions of national carriers.
For better use of technologies, Jorge Vargas identified that distributors are a key piece since they are the first contact with customers through the development of the FreightLabs platform, which allows the carrier to be more efficient, whether in its activity of planning or maintenance activities to achieve greater vehicle uptime .
