Maicol Montaño

Maicol Montaño is a leader in the Bolivian fuel transport sector, representing the interests of 'cisterneros,' or fuel tanker transporters. Recently, he has been vocal about the critical financial crisis facing his sector due to ongoing shortages of fuel supply and liquidity issues with Yacimientos Petrolíferos Fiscales Bolivianos (YPFB). Montaño expressed serious concerns about the impact of these challenges on the stability of approximately 52 companies and 2,500 tanker trucks that rely on adequate fuel provision to operate. His calls for urgent government action highlight the precarious situation that threatens the viability of many transport businesses in Bolivia.
