In the cumulative period from January to September of this year, trade between Mexico and the United States that was operated through the Laredo border port accumulated 254.4 billion dollars (mdd) , an increase of 5.74% compared to the same cycle in 2023, according to the United States Department of Commerce .
The commercial dynamics between Mexico and the United States motivate a logistical dynamic in Laredo that is not only manifested in the movement of transport units, but also in storage capacity.
Aware that infrastructure is key to serving a demanding market, Super Transporte Internacional (STI) maintains the dynamic of renewing its fleet of tractor trucks to maintain an average age of four years and even reduce it.
To end the year with this dynamic, STI will receive from now until the rest of the year a total of 30 Kenworth T680 and T880 tractor trucks to renew the fleet of its two market divisions: specialized cargo and dry vans.
Based on information obtained from STI, Kenworth del Río Bravo made the symbolic delivery of the first 30 units that will be integrated into the STI fleet, and which are aimed at renewing the vehicle fleet.
“The units are intended to renew the fleet that we are bringing out, both for the dry box division and for the specialized one,” said Ángel Hernández, general manager of STI. With these deliveries, the color of the tractor-trailers will be defined according to their applications, “the white ones will be to identify the dry box operation, while the black ones will be for our specialized division.”
Given the configuration of STI’s operations, 60% of them are focused on the specialized transport division , while the remaining 40% is concentrated on dry box operations, in all cases with a presence in the commercial exchange between Mexico and the United States.
Recently, STI integrated 10 International LT tractor trucks , which are focused on the growth of the specialized division.
As part of the delivery of the Kenworth tractor-trailer fleet, the occasion was taken to unveil the commemorative plaque in honor of Felipe Gaytán Palomo, founder of STI, who passed away last June. As part of the recognitions made, the plaque is located on the classic 1971 Kenworth tractor-trailer, the date that coincides with Felipe Gaytán’s birth.
