The Mexican Intermodal Transport Association (AMTI) renewed its Board of Directors on Thursday, with Diego Anchustegui re-elected to serve as president for another one-year period. He said he would focus his efforts on increasing the participation of intermodal transport in the country.
“We live in a time of rapid and intense changes in Mexico and North America. These changes require us to adapt and take advantage of new opportunities. Political opportunities to grow this intermodal sector,” said Anchustegui in a meeting with the membership.
The new president of AMTI indicated that during his mandate he will also seek a closer relationship with federal authorities , “to demonstrate how intermodal transport can and should be the driving force for development in Mexico. Intermodal is 75% more ecological than conventional auto transport. It is more competitive and contributes to reducing inflation, alleviating prices for the consumer.”
He also stated that they will continue to build the collaboration project with the Intermodal Association of North America (IANA) , as well as continue to promote regulations such as Annex 29 (document required for cross-borderintermodal shipments ) before authorities such as the National Service for Health, Safety and Agri-Food Quality (SENASICA) .
The AMTI is made up of national and foreign railway companies, as well as companies that offer logistics services, but whose focus is on encouraging the use of two or more modes of transport in the movement of their clients’ goods .
“At AMTI we have to collaborate with these railroads to promote this transfer of cargo from conventional to intermodal transport. We have this great challenge, but also an opportunity to grow this sector and face the current challenges of mobility and sustainability,” said Anchustegui.
