Q: What are the primary concerns that mining companies have regarding diesel, and what distinguishes Diesel Cargo as the optimal choice for their needs?

A: Mining companies are primarily concerned about ensuring the availability of quality fuel and complying with environmental regulations. Diesel Cargo ensures that our diesel meets the highest quality standards, which optimizes performance and reduces the risk of unplanned downtime. We collaborate closely with each client, delivering solutions tailored to their operational demands. Our advanced logistics network reaches even the most remote mining locations, and with real-time tracking and strategically located inventory, we ensure uninterrupted fuel availability that keeps mining operations moving smoothly.

Q: What factors led to the decision to distribute PEMEX diesel over other options, and what unique advantages does this partnership provide?

A: Our choice to partner with PEMEX was driven by its reputation as a national brand with strong market presence and extensive reach, which enables us to supply even the most challenging, remote mining sites.  Its extensive distribution network also allows us to supply even the most challenging areas, which is critical to serve mining operations. PEMEX diesel meets our quality standards, allowing us to deliver a consistent, efficient product that our clients can depend on.

Q: How have you navigated challenges in permits and regulations with mining clients, and what advantages does Diesel Cargo offer in this regard?

A: Compliance with industry regulations is fundamental to our growth and success. We have built a dedicated compliance team supported by external experts, dedicated to ensuring adherence to regulations, facilitating the acquisition of necessary permits for our clients. This proactive approach not only accelerates the permit process but also reduces the risk of costly operational delays, providing a smooth and reliable experience that our clients trust.

Q: What role will fuel storage systems for self-consumption have in the industry, and what regulatory gaps need to be addressed to increase their use?

A: Self-consumption fuel storage systems are increasingly valuable across industries like mining, offering significant benefits in operational efficiency and reliability. We anticipate that the new administration will support these systems with clearer guidelines to boost productivity. While current regulations cover storage and self-consumption, a collaborative approach with authorities could reveal key opportunities to improve the framework, making these systems even more effective for companies in this sector.

Q: What investments has Diesel Cargo made to improve the services it offers to the mining sector?

A: We made significant investments to enhance our logistics capabilities, including automating our inventory monitoring systems. This provides full visibility into diesel consumption, enabling efficient order management and streamlined authorization processes. These enhancements have significantly reduced wait times, boosted delivery efficiency, and improved customer satisfaction—all of which are reflected in our strong client-retention rates.

Q: How is Diesel Cargo adapting its offer to align with the industry's evolving goals to reduce reliance on traditional fuels?
A: While a full transition away from diesel is not yet practical for many remote operations due to limited infrastructure for alternative technologies, we recognize the industry's shift toward sustainability. As technology and infrastructure evolve, the move away from diesel will become more feasible. Diesel Cargo is committed to reducing diesel consumption and is actively exploring alternative solutions that balance sustainability with the realities of current operational needs.

Q: How have recent government reforms influenced your annual strategy?

A: We are confident that the recent reforms will allow PEMEX to continue as the most reliable option for continuous supply. For 2025, we project 15% growth in our mining sector client base. Our key goals for a successful year include expanding storage infrastructure, enhancing logistics in remote areas, and forging new strategic partnerships to deliver comprehensive solutions to meet our clients' evolving needs.

Diesel Cargo provides tailored fuel supply solutions for industries like mining, logistics, and agribusiness, ensuring clients have a steady fuel supply for uninterrupted operations.
