GCC is a world-class Chihuahua-based company dedicated to the distribution and sale of cement, concrete, aggregates and innovative products for the construction industry in Mexico, the United States, Canada and Latin America.
The company attributes part of its success to a management approach built on constantly improving processes, operating more efficiently and sustaining better performance at every level of the organization — a discipline known as continuous improvement. Through it, GCC aims to offer an excellent place to work, adapt to new market demands and stay focused on sustainability. That is why GCC bets on its most important asset: its people.
With that vision in mind, the company has rolled out a variety of training and development courses through its internal university, designed to develop, refresh and deepen the knowledge of every employee. Now, as part of the development program for GCC Transporte's operating personnel, they have added a truck driving simulator.
Having well-trained drivers with the opportunity to prepare on tools built on the latest technology will undoubtedly deliver great results. We want to give our people these resources and foster a strong sense of safety and belonging in their work.

A benchmark in road safety and techno-economic efficiency
No other trucking company in the state of Chihuahua has pursued optimal results through professional driver development the way GCC has. For GCC, it is fundamental that every driver progresses from basic traffic education to complete, in-depth knowledge of their vehicles — improving unit efficiency and building habits that extend vehicle life.
The new simulator delivers a far more immersive, complete learning experience, always with road safety and individual skill development in mind.
Our objective is and always will be the safety of our drivers. The continuous development of our people will ensure a low accident rate and the best efficiency numbers. All of this will help us attract new talent with a strong desire to keep learning and growing professionally. With the best-trained personnel, we want to keep delivering excellent service to our customers.

With an immersive semi-enclosed cab, a three-axis motion platform and a training plan tailor-made for GCC, advanced safe- and efficient-driving instruction becomes possible. The system also supports exercises designed specifically for the company's needs; drivers who pass them earn a professional certificate that reinforces their knowledge and turns each operator's improvement areas into opportunities.
We are delighted to count on the participation and commitment of Grupo GCC, which helps the state of Chihuahua ensure that all of its freight vehicle operators are professionalized through the truck driving simulator — reinforcing their knowledge and guaranteeing traffic education.
