The National Chamber of Cargo Transport (CANACAR) has entered a new phase as Augusto Ramos Melo is officially introduced as the elected president for the 2026-2027 term. Following an internal electoral process that occurred in 28 polling centers across Mexico, preliminary results indicated an "irreversible trend" in favor of Ramos Melo, facilitating the announcement of his presidency. A transition process has commenced, which will culminate on March 2 with the General Assembly and the inauguration of the new National Executive Committee.

In his inaugural address to members and the media, Ramos Melo outlined his administration's roadmap, emphasizing key challenges that he aims to tackle during his leadership. One of the primary goals is to reduce the average age of the truck fleet in Mexico, a vital aspect that addresses both efficiency and environmental concerns. Additionally, Ramos Melo highlighted his intention to increase participation within the organization, aiming to enhance the effectiveness and reach of CANACAR during his term.

The transition marks a significant moment for CANACAR as it reflects the democratic processes within the organization and the importance of leadership in setting strategic goals for the future of cargo transportation in Mexico. Ramos Melo's presidency is expected to influence policy changes and advancements in the sector, possibly impacting the broader transportation landscape in the country as the industry adapts to new regulations and technological innovations.
