Our logistics operations encompass:


  • An array of logistics and related consulting and analytical activities conducted from strategically located facilities throughout Mexico.
  • Trucking transport, including cross-border trips into and out of Mexico as well as the trucking or "drayage" of rail cargo.
  • Value-added complementary services including container logistics.
  • Maintenance and repair of containers and reefer containers in principal Mexican ports and cities.
  • Intermodal terminal operations at principal cities along side the TFM network. Due to the scope of our operations, together with the extent of our experience and resources, we believe that we are uniquely positioned to coordinate "door-to-door" transportation logistics services for our customers.

We believe 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.

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 Services 

In June 2000, we introduced "RoadRailer" technology to Mexico. RoadRailers, which are operated by Triple Crown in the United States, are semi-trailers equipped with both tires for highway use and bogies with rail wheels for running directly on rail tracks. The introduction of this equipment will enhance our existing land and rail transport operations primarily by facilitating interchanges with U.S. railways.

This new service is designed to complement our trucking and rail transport operations to further streamline the movement of products to and from Mexico particularly along the NAFTA corridor. We currently own 200 RoadRailers and have ordered 200 additional units which we expect to receive and begin operating during the third quarter of 2002.
