The National Chamber of Freight Transportation (Canacar) emerged on September 29, 1989 , and in 2026 it will reach 37 years of history , during which 12 presidents have led the organization that represents the interests of an activity that concentrates between 3.2% and 3.8% of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP).
Under different circumstances, the challenges faced by the various presidents of Canacar have been a constant: insecurity, growth in the industry, a shortage of operators, corruption, overregulation, among others. For Augusto Ramos Melo, president of Canacar, the difference lies in achieving constant change.
After the first 100 days of the campaign, which aimed to secure the commitment of all members of the Board of Directors in their positions, “after an intense period of political activity and meetings, we are now entering a more strategic phase focused on solving priority problems ,” Augusto Ramos told T21.
Insecurity, the burden
The Overhaul report indicates that 82% of the crimes faced by the trucking industry occur in 10 states of Mexico . The State of Mexico and Puebla alone account for 32% of these crimes.
One of the elements that Augusto Ramos highlights is that within Canacar they are working on making decisions based on data and not just perceptions , which is why they are strengthening security meetings with federal and state authorities, as well as coordination with prosecutors, especially in states with the highest concentration of robberies.
