UPS has announced it has invested nearly US$50 million (c. £37m) in network capabilities and dedicated industry teams to aide automotive and industrial manufacturers in operations.
Additionally, UPS has announced the expansion of its North American Air Freight (NAAF) capabilities, introducing time-definite heavy air freight service to and from Mexico.
The service will also extend UPS coverage across North America to better support production-critical supply chains.
Beginning in August, NAAF will offer 1-, 2- and 3-day service options to and from Mexico that help manufacturers move high-value, time-sensitive parts with greater speed and predictability.
UPS intends for the expansion of NAAF to integrate transportation, brokerage and warehousing into a single solution, reducing handoffs and simplifying cross-border shipping.
Reportedly, this will help reduce delays – specifically at the border – improving visibility from origin to destination.
UPS chief commercial and strategy officer, Matt Guffey, said: “Our automotive and industrial customers want an easy button for logistics.
“They need reliability, visibility and a partner that understands their supply chains – end to end, today and tomorrow.
“We have made strategic investments to build the team and the network that meets their needs unlike any other in the industry.”
IntraLogisteX is taking place in Dallas in 2026, bringing the industry’s leading trade show & conference to one of North America’s most important logistics hubs.
