Strategic Planning and Supplier Partnerships Kept Tecnogera Operational During Truckers’ Strike

Tecnogera maintained its operations during the May 2018 truckers' strike through strategic planning that included early fuel supply and the creation of a technical fuel reserve. The company prioritized critical operations, such as isolated systems in Acre serving over 20,000 people, highlighting the importance of local partnerships and efficient logistics in crisis situations.

Strategy to Maintain Operations During the Strike

Tecnogera, a company specializing in comprehensive temporary energy solutions, including the deployment and operation of power plants, executed a complex, strategic, and nationwide effort to prevent client operations from being interrupted during the truckers’ strike that paralyzed the country at the end of May.

Mobilizing Partners and Fuel Reserves

As diesel is a crucial input for power generator operations, once the teams noticed the strike movement and its implications, the first step was to mobilize local partners and suppliers to support the operations of the most critical clients.

“We coordinated efforts in different cities, which included early fuel supply and the creation of a technical fuel reserve. With roads blocked, having the fuel wouldn’t help if we couldn’t get it to the client,” says Marcelo Yamane, Operations Director at Tecnogera.

Focus on Mission-Critical Operations

Isolated Systems in Acre

The main concern was maintaining operations in isolated projects, such as those Tecnogera runs in the cities of Assis Brasil and Manuel Urbano, both in the state of Acre. With a capacity of 2 MW each, the operation is responsible for serving over 20,000 residents, fully supplied by generator-provided power.

Importance of Reaction Time

“When working with mission-critical operations, reaction time in situations like a strike makes a significant difference. The involvement of the entire team and the support of partners and suppliers strengthened the reliability of our solutions,” concludes Yamane.
