Autotransport on Guard: A Balance of Management by CANACAR
Miguel Martínez Millán reflects on his presidency at CANACAR, outlining key achievements and ongoing challenges in the freight transportation sector.
As Miguel Martínez Millán's presidency at the National Chamber of Freight Transport (CANACAR) comes to an end, he encapsulates his tenure with three core themes: tackling theft in transportation, renewing vehicle fleets, and enhancing training for drivers. He also emphasized the importance of defending trade flows under the USMCA agreement, which he sees as pivotal for maintaining Mexico's logistics competitiveness amidst the complexities of trilateral trade.
During an assessment of his leadership, Millán highlighted a significant 21% reduction in criminal incidents against the transport sector from 2024 to 2025, crediting collaborative efforts with the Federal Government. Despite this achievement, he expressed concern that the nature of these attacks remains troubling, as they are increasingly characterized by greater violence, impacting the safety of drivers across the country.
In light of these challenges, Millán’s reflections yield insights into the pressing need for continued vigilance and innovative solutions within the Mexican freight transport sector. The ongoing threats from organized crime require a robust response to ensure driver safety and secure trade routes, reinforcing the need for continued investment in resources and collaboration between the government and industry stakeholders.
