El Cambio Cultural detrás del Volante
En este episodio de Supply Chain Now en Español, Sofía Rivas conversa con Adrián Trucios, CEO de Airbag, sobre un tema urgente pero poco visibilizado: la crisis cultural en la industria del transporte. Hoy en día los conductores en México y otros países de Latinoamérica viven una realidad muy obscura detrás del volante. Algo que todos sabemos, pero que pocos estamos activamente cambiando.
