Mexico: The government launches a road transport support plan

The Mexican government has announced a support plan for its road transport industry, aimed at strengthening domestic production and modernizing heavy vehicle fleets.

Economy Minister Marcelo Ebrard detailed a program combining tax incentives and public investments to support manufacturers and carriers.

This plan provides for an initial budget of 2 billion pesos in the form of tax deductions, as well as 250 million pesos of direct investments.

The goal is to stimulate the purchase of new vehicles, while protecting the local industry from import competition.

President Claudia Sheinbaum stressed that these measures should promote the production of commercial vehicles and improve conditions for the transport of goods across the country.

The modernization of heavy goods vehicles also aims to reduce polluting emissions, an important issue for large Mexican urban areas.

This support comes amid trade tensions and transformations in the automotive sector, particularly in the context of relations with the United States.

The government hopes this will strengthen the sector's competitiveness while accelerating its transition to cleaner technologies.

This plan could be a key lever to support Mexico's industrial and logistical growth in the years to come.
