GUADALAJARA, JAL.- Within the framework of Expo Transporte ANPACT 2025 , Daimler Truck Mexico presented the pillars guiding its development strategy, including efficiency, technology, and customer service, according to Marcela Barreiro , its president and CEO.

Under a comprehensive approach that unites product, service, and financing, the company showcased the progress of its divisions and its commitment to the professionalization of transportation

The meeting was led by Marcela Barreiro , Carlos García Amandi , General Director and Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Daimler Truck Financial Services Mexico ; and Holger Dürrfeld , CEO of Mercedes-Benz Buses , and Till Oberwörder, CEO of Daimler Buses .

Barreiro highlighted that Daimler ‘s presentation at this edition of Expo Transporte ANPACT 2025 seeks to reflect the brand’s evolution, from its origins to the technology that distinguishes it today.

“Behind each unit there is a story: a committed operator, an entrepreneur who is committed to profitability, and a team that works to make everything run smoothly. That evolution is what drives us,” said Barreiro .

She emphasized that the ” Cascadia” (the brand’s model) is currently the most efficient tractor-trailer on the market, “made in Mexico and with the quality that distinguishes our plants in Saltillo and Santiago,” she said

During his message, he recalled that the brand obtained the ” Made in Mexico” distinction, a recognition that supports the quality of its national manufacturing and its commitment to the country’s industry.

Specialized Financing for Transportation

In his remarks, Carlos García Amandi shared the evolution of Daimler Truck Financial Services Mexico , which has been in the country for more than 30 years and since 2023 has focused exclusively on the heavy vehicle market

“Today we continue to support our customers and distributors with tailored financing, aligned with the evolution of the business,” he commented.

He explained that the finance company restructured its operations under the North American model to improve processes and offer more efficient service. In that context, he announced the opening of the North America Service Center , which will operate from Mexico to serve customers in the United States and Canada

“This center represents a vote of confidence in Mexican talent and in our ability to operate with international standards,” García Amandi noted.

Mercedes-Benz Buses: Innovation and Sustainability

At the event, Till Oberwörder, CEO of Daimler Buses, emphasized that for the electrification of transportation in Mexico to occur, three important factors are necessary: ​​regulations from the authorities, operating companies that must have the same objectives, and the availability of infrastructure.

“It’s like a mathematical formula: if any of these variables is multiplied by zero, the result is zero. If one is not aligned, electrification cannot be achieved,” he explained.

He added that the transformation of passenger transportation is going through a decisive stage driven by urbanization, sustainability, and the recovery of the long-distance segment.

He stressed that these three trends define what he considers “ the decade of the bus ,” a stage in which mass mobility must respond with cleaner, more efficient, and more accessible solutions

“The bus has been, is, and will continue to be the most efficient, ecological, and sustainable means of transport,” he stated.

The executive pointed out that the brand’s global strategy is progressing toward the gradual electrification of all segments, from urban to long-distance.

In Europe, he explained, up to 50% of recent sales already correspond to electric buses, and the next step will be to extend this technology to intercity and tourist vehicles.

However, he acknowledged that by 2030 the main challenge will not be the technology, but the charging infrastructure: the availability and distribution of energy that allows large units to be charged on long journeys.

“The question will be whether there will be sufficient infrastructure to support the operation of long-distance electric vehicles,” he warned.

For his part, Holger Dürrfeld , CEO of Mercedes-Benz Buses , noted that the company is celebrating 27 years in business and has developed products that promote electromobility and efficiency

Dürrfeld commented that the brand’s work goes beyond simply delivering a unit. With programs like Service Plus , Mercedes-Benz Buses provides preventive and corrective maintenance, as well as remote assistance. He also emphasized that tools like Bus Connection offer real-time monitoring, maintenance alerts, and performance analysis, which allows for reduced costs and increased unit availability.

“We want the buses on the road, not in the workshop,” he commented

The plant in García, Nuevo León , was also mentioned as an example of sustainable operation: it recycles 98% of the water used , operates with solar panels , and promotes a diverse and inclusive work environment.

“Mobility begins with people,” said Dürrfeld, referring to the company’s talent training and development programs.

A shared vision for the future

In closing, the brand leaders reiterated their environmental commitment focused on cleaner manufacturing processes and the promotion of more sustainable energy for transportation.

Barreiro highlighted the collaborative work with chambers of commerce and authorities to guarantee the availability of ultra-low sulfur diesel , necessary for the new generation of engines.

“Every player in the transportation chain has a responsibility in building a more sustainable future. At Daimler Truck Mexico, we work to ensure that profitability, efficiency, and caring for the planet go hand in hand,” concluded Barreiro

With a strategy based on product, service, and financing , and the active participation of Mercedes-Benz Buses representatives , they also explained a shared vision focused on innovation, safety, and sustainability in transportation in Mexico.

GUADALAJARA, JAL.- With the exhibition of 19 vehicles at Expo Transporte ANPACT 2025 , and the presentation of the Galaxus tractor-trailer and the View Grand van , Foton Mexico reaffirmed its commitment to the country, basing its strategy on investment in new energies, innovation in design, and the strengthening of alliances

Francisco Chávez, CEO of Foton Mexico, highlighted the brand’s global strength, with 29 years of history and 11 million units sold. This strength translates into a manufacturing expansion plan with the upcoming opening of a plant in Tlajomulco de Zúñiga, Jalisco, scheduled for January 2026.

This new facility will not only increase production capacity to 1,000 units per month, but will also focus on manufacturing “Made in Mexico” vehicles, including light electric and last-mile delivery vehicles, Chávez indicated.

Foton strengthened its presence with a strategic alliance with Motor Nation. This collaboration will add 26 dealerships to its network, reaching a total of 55 points of sale nationwide, and will initially focus on the marketing of pickups and vans .

At Expo Transporte , company executives presented the Galaxus tractor-trailer and the View Grand passenger van, both designed to optimize comfort, safety, and operational performance.

The Galaxus is presented as the brand’s spearhead in the heavy transport segment. Following its official global launch, this model arrives with the promise of redefining efficiency in long-distance transport, with a cutting-edge design focused on aerodynamics

The Galaxus’s performance is backed by its aerodynamic drag coefficient of 0.348, which places this unit among the tractor-trailers offering the best aerodynamic coefficient on the market, translating into better fuel efficiency for the carrier, vital for fleet profitability. Foton’s confidence in the Galaxus is absolute, projecting that the model will position itself in the top 3 of the Mexican market within the next two years, highlighted Pablo Torrejón, Commercial Director of Foton Mexico.

In the passenger and light cargo segment, the View Grand was unveiled as a completely redesigned unit. This vehicle focuses on operator comfort and safety, along with range and “Made in Mexico” manufacturing quality

The unit will be offered with a diesel engine and, as a significant first in the segment, with the option of integrating an automatic transmission. This configuration aims to optimize the driving experience and operational performance.

With both units, Foton seeks to strengthen its presence in the Mexican market in the heavy-duty and passenger segments.

Resilient Market

In terms of sales results, the brand has remained resilient. Despite a market decline of approximately 30% in the tractor-trailer segment, Foton has managed to maintain double-digit growth. Specifically in the Heavy Duty segment , it reported cumulative growth of nearly 250%, Torrejón noted.

Finally, the brand’s strategy is based on robust after-sales support, emphasized Sergio Chavarría, After-Sales Director of Foton Mexico, who highlighted the importance of the roadside assistance provided by the company, which helps its customers “have the confidence that wherever they are, we will arrive with our technical team.”

With an 11,000 square meter (m²) spare parts warehouse in Querétaro and a 24/7 roadside assistance service year-round, complemented by a telemetry system for fleet management and preventive maintenance, Foton seeks to guarantee the profitability and confidence of its customers.
