Disruptive technologies emerge as powerful tools to transform the industry, offering innovative solutions that redefine the way cargo moves by land, among those that have the greatest impact on land cargo transportation, the following stand out:

Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML): They allow you to optimize routes, predict delivery times with greater precision, improve fleet management and automate administrative tasks, boosting efficiency and reducing costs.
Internet of Things (IoT): Smart sensors and devices embedded in vehicles and containers collect real-time data on location, cargo status, and environmental conditions, enabling greater visibility and control over the supply chain.
Blockchain: This immutable and transparent technology guarantees the traceability of cargo, from its origin to its final destination, combating counterfeiting and fraud, and strengthening trust between the parties involved.
Autonomous vehicles: Autonomous trucks and vehicles have the potential to revolutionize the industry, reducing operating costs, improving road safety and optimizing efficiency in last mile delivery.

Robotics and automation: The automation of repetitive tasks in warehouses and distribution centers frees up labor for higher value-added activities, optimizing productivity and reducing errors.

In this sense, autonomous vehicles are gaining prominence, as companies such as Tesla and Waymo are leading the development of technology for the transportation of goods, and those powered by renewable energy are transforming the sector towards greater sustainability.
