It was at the end of 2022 when Scania delivered the first ones to Transportes Monroy Schiavon (TMS) , and this commercial link that has transcended into a strategic alliance, today translates into just over 400 units of the Swedish brand that have the TMS logos and that travel a large part of the national territory.
Jorge Navarro, commercial director of Trucks & Buses at Scania Mexico, acknowledged that TMS ( number 10 in the Top 100 of Autotransporte® ) was the first customer in Latin America to receive the Scania Super , Scania’s highest evolution in diesel engines, and that among its qualities is the improvement in fuel efficiency by at least 8% compared to the previous generation.
“We continue to make roads safer and more traffic-friendly, providing the best European technology so that operators can also operate more sustainably,” said Jorge Navarro.
Although the first unit was delivered in 2022, the relationship between Scania and TMS began in 2021 when Raúl Monroy Otero, CEO of TMS, connected via LinkedIn with Alejandro Mondragón, President and CEO of Scania Mexico, with the goal of gaining insight into and learning about Scania’s technologies.
Alejandro Mondragón himself recalled that when he took over as general manager of the Swedish brand in Mexico, he reviewed the Top 100 Autotransporte® to find out which fleets they worked with, and that’s where TMS was identified.
Raúl Monroy Otero, CEO of TMS, emphasized that the relationship they began almost four years ago has demonstrated their alignment on various values, such as innovation, a vision for the future, and support from both the sales and maintenance departments.
Along the same lines of values, Raúl Monroy Reus, president of TMS, emphasized that in addition to innovation and safety, TMS shares Scania’s values of commitment, “and I believe that this results in something positive like what’s happening today, (especially) in difficult times like these. The most important thing in all of this is the professional relationship we’ve built with Scania.”
Based on information shared by Raúl Monroy Otero, with more than 400 units in TMS’s fleet, Scania is already the carrier’s main supplier of power units, accounting for just over 30% of the total fleet and with a growth outlook.
