In an environment where the transport of goods by road remains one of the most vulnerable links for business activity, the Mexican Association of Automotive Distributors (AMDA) held a meeting with commanders of the Mexican Army and the National Guard to establish coordination agreements on security in the central region of the country.
Highway insecurity and cargo theft continue to impact the operations of businesses of all sizes. According to the 2025 survey by the Mexican Employers’ Confederation (Coparmex) , 25.6% of its members reported experiencing cargo theft during the year, a higher percentage than that recorded in 2024.
Crimes such as extortion, theft of company vehicles and damage to facilities were also identified , problems that affect costs, delivery times and operational continuity.
As a result of the meeting, it was agreed to establish direct communication channels and coordination mechanisms to address in a timely manner situations that may compromise the safety of companies and their employees.
The exchange of information on incidents was also discussed , as well as the need to reinforce security in public spaces and communication routes, key points for the operation of automotive agencies and the transfer of units.
In an environment where logistics and commercial operations face constant risks, insecurity remains one of the issues that must stay on the automotive sector’s agenda throughout the year, not only because of its impact on the movement of units and goods, but also because of the implications it has on costs, operational continuity and business confidence.
