In the journey of Fruehauf and Zinergia  (number 6 of the Top 100 of Autotransport®) over 12 years, progress has been made in access to productive infrastructure, and this is the result of mutual trust and a shared vision of growth.

As part of this strategic alliance, Fruehauf delivered 555 trailers to Zinergia , a conglomerate of various transport companies operating in Mexico and the United States.

“In a year that presented significant challenges for the transportation and manufacturing industries, this investment represents much more than an equipment acquisition: it reflects Zinergia’s continued confidence in the quality of products, responsiveness, and comprehensive support that Fruehauf provides to its customers,” Fruehauf shared in a statement.

According to Drigo Arcos, Commercial Director of Fruehauf, “Zinergia is one of our most important business partners and a benchmark within the transportation industry in Mexico. We are proud that, after more than a decade of working together, they continue to trust Fruehauf to strengthen and modernize their operations. This relationship is the result of years of commitment, innovation, and ongoing support.”

The fleet of 555 trailers includes dry vans equipped with composite side panels, a state-of-the-art solution that reduces weight, increases structural strength, and improves operational efficiency. These features contribute to increased load capacity, optimized fuel consumption, and lower maintenance costs, resulting in greater profitability for transport operations.

Seven full-size platforms were also added, configurations designed to offer versatility and robustness in specialized cargo applications, strengthening Zinergia’s logistics capacity to serve diverse markets and operational needs.

“Beyond manufacturing trailers, at Fruehauf we strive to build long-term relationships with our customers. The delivery of these 555 units during 2025 demonstrates the trust we have developed with Zinergia and the commitment we share to driving increasingly efficient, profitable, and competitive operations,” highlighted Miguel Martínez, CEO of Fruehauf.

The collaboration between the two companies has constantly evolved to respond to the changing needs of the market, consolidating a relationship based on results, innovation and a long-term vision focused on sustainable growth.

“For more than a decade, we have found in Fruehauf a strategic partner that understands the needs of our operation and supports us with reliable, innovative, and high-quality solutions. The addition of these new units is part of our growth and fleet strengthening strategy to continue offering the best service to our customers,” said Luis Morales, CEO of Zinergia.

Starting in 2026, Felipe Ángeles International Airport (AIFA) will have increased apron capacity and additional positions , which will allow for increased cargo handling and make it the primary freight terminal.

According to the 2025-2030 Institutional Program , published by the Ministry of National Defense (Defensa) in the Official Gazette of the Federation (DOF) , cargo growth projects were anticipated; the initial infrastructure installed alone consisted of 16 facilities and warehouses to process 570,000 tons per year.

However, to date, six additional facilities have been built , increasing capacity by 240,000 tons, so that the cargo terminal currently has a total capacity of 810,000 tons per year with 22 facilities and warehouses.

Apron capacity is also being expanded to accommodate more aircraft simultaneously. Currently, five larger aircraft can be accommodated on the apron, and with the expansion, which will be completed in January 2026, there will be four additional positions for aircraft of the same type, such as the  Boeing 747-8F, for a total of nine positions.

“The projects described above are financed with our own resources; furthermore, the growth momentum is expected to continue and consolidate over the next five years, which will require beginning work on planning for the second phase of the AIFA Master Development Program,” the document stated.

The Ministry of Defense asserted that air cargo transportation is a strength that will be consolidated in less time than projected , so it will be necessary to accelerate the required investment “to expand the infrastructure at the cargo terminal as quickly as possible and meet the demand that will arise.”

He emphasized that the development of the northern part of the Valley of Mexico to create a development hub through an industrial logistics corridor, from the city of Pachuca to the northern part of Mexico City, will make AIFA a “center of gravity.”

“The scenario described above is an opportunity that AIFA will seize to establish another commercial strategy for the development of the Airport City, which will allow for orderly growth, in accordance with the land uses designated in the Master Development Plan for that space, which includes health services, shopping centers, parking lots, corporate buildings, aviation-related schools, and a ground transportation terminal,” he said.

Currently, 43 airlines operate freight transport through the AIFA : 17 scheduled cargo airlines, 26 charter airlines, and three mixed airlines (passenger and cargo), transporting a total of more than 633,000 tons.

By 2050, the Ministry of Defense has projected the maximum development of the AIFA , with the following characteristics:

• Three runways . For this stage of the project, the airport’s new north runway will be built, which will be used primarily for cargo handling.
• Two interconnected terminal buildings with a capacity of 85 million passengers . A second passenger terminal building will be built, and the connection building between the two passenger terminals will be completed, along with the expansion of Terminals 1 and 2 to increase the number of connecting positions.
• A cargo terminal with a capacity for three million tons per year . With the construction of the third runway, the airport’s cargo vocation is consolidated, with the construction of new facilities for this purpose, achieving the capacity to handle up to three million tons per year.
• A fuel terminal with a capacity of 80 million liters of jet fuel . The fuel terminal will also be expanded to meet fuel needs resulting from increased operations, with a capacity of up to 85 million liters.
• Control tower . The control tower was built from the ground up with the necessary and sufficient capacity to continue providing its services efficiently until the airport’s maximum development.

Additionally, he specified that a major challenge lies in developing a commercial and marketing strategy that will allow international airlines from Europe, Asia, and North America to be brought in , thereby boosting demand for flights to the airport.
