Universidad HG Transportaciones Bets on 2 Simulators to Transform Driver Training in Nuevo León
Transportation ·
In northern Mexico, where logistics demands ever-higher safety and efficiency standards, HG Transportaciones and Autotransportes El Charqueño are transforming how they train their drivers with two APEX heavy-duty truck simulators.
In northern Mexico, where logistics operations demand ever-higher standards of safety and efficiency, the group formed by HG Transportaciones and Autotransportes El Charqueño has decided to evolve the way it trains its drivers by adding 2 APEX heavy-duty truck simulators.
Under the Universidad HG Transportaciones banner, both companies have made truck driving simulators the centerpiece of their training strategy, consolidating a model that combines operational experience with state-of-the-art technology.
More than a technology rollout, this is a change of approach: leaving traditional training behind to build smarter, measurable processes aligned with what actually happens on the road.
Learn without risk, improve with precision
One of the biggest challenges in driver training has always been the same: how do you prepare someone for critical situations without actually exposing them to danger?
The answer, in this case, is simulation.
With these systems, drivers can face conditions that would be nearly impossible to replicate safely in the field: emergency braking, loss of control, driving in severe weather, or high-stress scenarios.
Every session becomes an intensive learning experience where a mistake is not a risk — it is an opportunity to improve.
From experience to data: a new way to train
What sets this model apart is not just the technology, but how it is used.
Inside Universidad HG Transportaciones, training stops being subjective and becomes a process built on hard information. Every practice run generates data, every driver decision is analyzed, and every session sheds light on performance.
That makes it possible to identify patterns, correct habits, and build drivers who are more aware — not just of how they drive, but of why they drive the way they do.
The result is far deeper training, where improvement rests on real evidence rather than perception.
One standard, two stronger operations
It is no coincidence that both HG Transportaciones and Autotransportes El Charqueño are part of the same training framework.
By sharing infrastructure, methodology, and goals, the group achieves something essential: consistency.
Consistency in how they train, how they evaluate, and how much they demand from their drivers.
That translates directly into stronger operations, better-prepared teams, and an organizational culture where safety stops being a slogan and becomes daily practice.
For those driving this kind of project across the industry, simulation marks a turning point in trucking-sector training.
Today, the companies serious about reducing risk and raising their operational level understand that training cannot depend on field experience alone. Simulation lets you get ahead of mistakes, shape better decisions, and produce far better-prepared drivers from day one.
Jose Miguel MontoyaChief Commercial Officer, APEX Simulation & TechnologyBeyond training: building the driver of the future
In a market where the shortage of qualified drivers remains a challenge, initiatives like Universidad HG Transportaciones open a new door for talent development.
This is not just about teaching someone to drive a truck — it is about shaping professionals who can respond to complex scenarios, adapt to changing conditions, and operate with a prevention-first mindset.
Adding simulators does not just accelerate that process. It elevates it.
At Universidad HG Transportaciones we understand that training cannot stay traditional. Truck driving simulators let us develop drivers in a far more complete environment, where they can face real situations without risking their safety or the operation. For us, it is not just about teaching someone to drive — it is about developing judgment, responsibility, and decision-making. This technology lets us prepare better-trained drivers from day one, raising the level of our entire operation.

Nuevo León as a point of reference
With this model, the group not only strengthens its own operations — it positions Nuevo León as a key hub for the adoption of training technology in Mexican trucking.
Universidad HG Transportaciones stands as a clear example of how innovation, implemented with vision, can completely transform how the industry develops its people.
