The new Mexican Moment is driven by the presence of nearshoring, which is motivating various industries to see accelerated growth, especially to serve the local market, particularly the export market where the United States plays a key role.
To address this dynamic, transportation companies and firms with their own fleets need to be more efficient and optimize the use of their assets. In response to this situation, Penske Truck Leasing in Mexico offers a portfolio of services that addresses this need of companies with full-service leasing solutions, contract maintenance, and on-site workshops.
“The on-site workshop service is gaining momentum because it is an opportunity for companies to have an expert on their premises focused on taking care of their fleet, backed by Penske and all the technological platforms to identify faults and provide precise support for the unit,” said Gerardo Juárez, General Manager of Penske Truck Leasing – Mexico Area, during a meeting with clients and prospects.
The executive mentioned that faced with the challenges posed by the nearshoring trend, Penske can be an ally for transportation companies to boost the uptime of their units. Additionally, it can also provide strategic asset availability planning, precisely through the use of tools developed for supervisors, technicians, and clients, making them more efficient and providing greater visibility into the repair process.
Among the tools available to Penske is ServiceNet, a system that can manage unit maintenance by incorporating documentation and tasks to be performed quickly, thereby staying connected 24/7. Moreover, it has the ability to identify tools and request corresponding parts through PartsNet.
Another system they have is Voice Directed PM, which contributes to reducing the carbon footprint by minimizing paper usage. Through voice commands, repairs and the type of parts to be used in the service are indicated, resulting in faster and accurate inspections.
Alex Theissen, a specialist in technical issues related to transportation and logistics, participated in the meeting with transportation companies and firms with their own fleets, where he identified various challenges in effectively leveraging nearshoring.
Among these points are road safety, lack of infrastructure, asset security, digital infrastructure, and logistical performance.
In some of these challenges, Penske can be an ally both in its Penske Logistics and Penske Truck Leasing divisions, to make logistics activities more efficient in Mexico and across borders with the United States and Canada.
Penske Logistics Mexico’s service portfolio consists of the following components:
- 4PL
