· Source: mexicobusiness.news
In short
In this opinion piece, Ernesto del Blanco argues that innovation in Mexico's transport industry should be measured by the business problems it solves and results it delivers, rather than by the amount of technology embedded in vehicles. Drawing on examples like the US Department of Energy's SuperTruck program and telematics adoption, he emphasizes that R&D creates value only when it improves efficiency, safety, and operational performance. The author also highlights Mexico's aging freight fleet—averaging 19.5 years at the end of 2025—and calls for a shift toward evaluating total cost of ownership and real working conditions when adopting new technologies.
