SimpliRoute Cuts 17 Million Liters of Fuel Via AI Delivery Routes

SimpliRoute, the Chilean logistics company, said its operations in Mexico reduced fuel consumption by more than 17 million liters in 2025, avoiding 29,345 metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions. The company, which uses artificial intelligence to optimize last-mile logistics routes, said the  results demonstrate how intentional route planning can deliver measurable environmental and operational gains at scale.

According to company data, SimpliRoute-supported operations in Mexico logged 271.26 million km during 2025. Through route optimization, 139.74 million km of road travel were avoided, resulting in fuel savings of 17.47 million liters. The reduced fuel use prevented 29,345 metric tons of CO₂ emissions in a single year. Across Latin America, the platform planned a total of 606.66 million kilometers during 2025.

The company said the reductions were achieved by reorganizing routes that had previously been planned in isolation into unified delivery paths. In practice, this  involved consolidating deliveries that once required multiple vehicles traveling through overlapping areas into fewer units covering shorter distances. Vehicles that previously returned empty were reassigned to productive routes, while repeated urban trips were eliminated during the planning stage. Delivery volumes remained unchanged, but total distance traveled, fuel consumption and emissions declined.

“Optimizing routes is not a future promise; it is a daily decision that generates measurable results from day one,” said Álvaro Echeverría, CEO, SimpliRoute. “Every kilometer not traveled due to poor planning is an emission that never reaches the atmosphere.”

SimpliRoute noted that logistics efficiency is increasingly linked to broader urban and environmental outcomes. Once viewed primarily as an internal business function, logistics performance now directly affects congestion, air quality and the reliability of essential goods delivery in cities. “When an operation becomes more efficient, the benefits do not remain inside a distribution center,” Echeverría said. “They show up on less congested streets and in cities that function better.”

Founded in 2014, SimpliRoute has expanded rapidly across international markets, supported by startup accelerators in Latin America and Silicon Valley. The company now operates in 26 countries, including Mexico, where it serves more than 120 clients. Echeverría said SimpliRoute aims to reach 200 clients in Mexico by the end of 2026.

SimpliRoute: Promoting AI Adoption in Mexico’s Logistics Sector

In 2024, the company launched its new ADA AI technology in Mexico as part of a strategy to accelerate intelligence adoption across the country’s logistics sector. The launch took place at the Embassy of Chile in Mexico City, with support from ProChile, Chile’s export promotion agency.

ADA AI enables companies to interact directly with their logistics data and generate insights through predictive analysis without relying on specialized data science teams. SimpliRoute said the tool addresses a significant adoption gap in Mexico, where only 34% of companies currently use AI in logistics operations. The company added that ADA AI has improved real-time delivery accuracy and reduced delivery windows by more than 30%, while also enabling benchmarking of regional best practices.

ProChile said the collaboration aims to help Mexican companies integrate advanced technologies. Studies cited by the agency show that only 15% of companies in Mexico have implemented AI solutions. Through digitalization and route optimization, participating firms could reduce operating costs by up to 30% and cut carbon emissions by as much as 20%.

“Improving efficiency and sustainability in Mexican companies is essential,” said Marcelo Sobarzo, director, ProChile. “We are pleased to work with SimpliRoute to deliver technology that strengthens competitiveness.”
