Logistics Activities

We have competitive advantages as a third-party logistics provider serving Mexican and international customers in Mexico primarily as a result of our logistics facilities, which are strategically located in major industrial cities and at seaports and railroad hubs throughout Mexico, combined with our integrated nationwide network of truck and rail transport.

Our logistics facilities in Aguascalientes, Querétaro, Hermosillo, Toluca, Ramos Arizpe, Puebla, Veracruz, Nuevo Laredo, San Luis Potosí, Cuernavaca, Mexico City and Monterrey offer full-service logistics packages. These facilities provide consulting, analytical and logistics outsourcing services including: management of inbound movement of parts to manufacturing plants consistent with just-in-time inventory planning practices; logistics network (order-cycle) analysis; logistics information process design; warehouse/facility management; supply chain/logistics management; product manipulation/repackaging; local pre-assembly; and inbound and outbound distribution using multiple transportation modes including rail and truck transport.

We provide specialized logistics support for the automotive industry. Services include the arrangement and coordination of the movement of motor vehicle parts or sub-assemblies from supplier facilities to assembly plants, and the inspection, yard management and movement of finished vehicles from assembly plants to regional distribution centers. The logistics operations division developed an 80-acre state-of-the-art auto distribution complex in Toluca, which provides transportation services to major auto manufacturers located in the Toluca region, such as Chrysler and Peugeot.

Our logistics services can be provided as end-to-end integrated logistics programs (bundled) or discrete services (unbundled) depending on customer needs. In conjunction with our logistics facilities, we offer trucking transport as a value-added service component to streamline the movement of products to and from major Mexican cities, seaports and rail hubs. We provide dedicated logistics trucking services to major manufacturers and retailers with facilities and operations throughout Mexico.

RoadRailer and Intermodal Services®

In May 2001, we introduced RoadRailer® technology, which is the first intermodal domestic service in Mexico. RoadRailers® are semi-trailers equipped with both tires for highway use and ‘‘bogies’’ with rail wheels for running directly on rail tracks. This new service is designed to complement our trucking and rail transport operations to further streamline the movement of products to and from Mexico City and surrounding states, and along the northeast region of Mexico. We currently operate 350 RoadRailers®.

In October 2002, TMM Logistics and Hub Group, which is the largest intermodal marketing company in the United States, created a joint network to manage freight moving among Canada, the United States and Mexico. TMM Logistics provides all sales support and operational execution within Mexico for the network.

Through this alliance, we offer multi-modal door-to-door services at the main frontier crossings. We coordinate all aspects of the shipment at the frontier crossing: customs agents, documentation, service providers, data systems, separated billing, insurance, safety and equipment – all this with a state-of-the-art technological infrastructure that enables an easy and efficient frontier crossing.

We provide dedicated trucking services to several customers, including, Ford, Jumex, Allied Domecq, Wal-Mart and Nissan. Additionally, we also provide port services to complement our freight-forwarding activity. We currently operate aproximately 450 trucks.
