Increasing risk in land transportation of goods in Latin America: How to protect your business
Bad roads, increased traffic and crime are the main challenges facing land transportation in the region. Learn how to anticipate risks and secure every shipment with Hanseatica.
Road transport is the mainstay of logistics in Latin America, moving millions of tons of goods every year. However, factors such as poor infrastructure, exponential traffic growth and crime risks are jeopardizing the safety and efficiency of logistics operations in the region.
Poor infrastructure: a constant risk
The lack of adequate investment in roads has left many routes in critical condition. This not only increases vehicle maintenance costs, but also raises the risk of accidents, affecting the integrity of goods and the safety of operators.
Increased traffic: pressure on logistics networks
The rise of e-commerce has generated an unprecedented increase in demand for ground transportation. This growth is putting pressure on logistics networks, pushing distribution systems to their limits and increasing delivery times.
Crime on key roads: a security challenge
Highway theft and crime are a growing concern. These threats not only put cargoes at risk, but also the operators, making comprehensive protection strategies indispensable.
