In a logistics environment marked by economic and operational uncertainty, Ryder Mexico maintains its commitment to collaboration with carriers, technological integration, and security as strategic pillars to strengthen its supply chains, stated Ricardo Álvarez , vice president and general manager of the company in the country.
During a meeting with the media, the executive emphasized that transport management remains one of the most important components for the company, so maintaining a close relationship with its partners is key to ensuring operational continuity in the various industries it serves.
“The transportation management component is one of the most important for Ryder in Mexico. Close interaction with our partners opens doors to collaboration and joint work to continue managing supply chains in the country,” he noted.
Regarding sustainability , he indicated that Ryder is gradually moving towards the incorporation of electric vehicles, mainly on short routes and local operations.
“We are proceeding slowly but surely, selecting the regions where it really makes operational and economic sense,” he commented.
Regarding business results, the executive reported that operations in Mexico grew by approximately 5% last year , in line with expectations given the volatile economic environment. However, he emphasized that efficiency initiatives improved the quality of earnings.
By 2026, the strategic focus will be on the customer, talent retention, and strengthening the organizational culture. Currently, Ryder has more than five thousand employees in the country and has significantly reduced employee turnover.
Regarding security , Álvarez acknowledged that it is a constant challenge in the sector, although he stressed that investment in technology and monitoring has significantly reduced incidents in operations.
The leader of Ryder Mexico reiterated the company’s confidence in the Mexican market.
“We are convinced that Mexico remains a country worth investing in, provided that the appropriate analyses are done at the right time and in the right region,” he said.
