In July 2026, Mexican industrial activity grew 0.5% compared to last June , driven mainly by the construction and manufacturing sectors, according to the results of the Monthly Indicator of Industrial Activity (IMAI), prepared by the National Institute of Statistics and Geography (Inegi) .

In its annual measurement, the indicator, which stood at a level of 102.5 in the seventh month of the year, also showed a positive behavior with an increase of 2.4 percent .

According to the agency’s figures, two of the four components of the IMAI had a positive performance in July 2026 on a monthly basis, with the construction sector showing the largest increase at 0.9 percent.

Manufacturing industries followed with an increase of 0.7%; while the generation, transmission, distribution and marketing of electricity, water supply and natural gas by pipeline to the end consumer remained unchanged on a monthly basis.

Conversely, the mining industry was the only component with a negative result in the period, which fell 1.8% on a monthly basis.

In the year-on-year comparison, construction registered an increase of 6.7%, mining increased 1.6%, manufacturing industries rose 1.3%; and generation, transmission, distribution and marketing of electricity, water supply and natural gas by pipeline to the final consumer advanced 0.7 percent.

The July IMAI result shows an advance in Mexican industrial activity, with a good performance, in general terms, of the components that make it up, both on a monthly and annual rate.

Within the indicator, the manufacturing industries maintained a positive performance , reflecting the importance of this sector, which is one of the most relevant in the country, as it represents about 20% of the national Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and more than 80% of total merchandise exports.

In that sense, the manufacture of computer, communication, measurement and other electronic equipment, components and accessories was one of the subsectors with the highest annual growth rate, with an increase of 14.2 percent.

According to Inegi, the Monthly Indicator of Industrial Activity provides timely statistical information that allows us to know and monitor the monthly evolution of the economic activities of the country’s industrial sector.

The proposed budget for the Federal Civil Aviation Agency (AFAC) in the 2027 Economic Package has raised concerns within the Mexican aviation industry. The National Chamber of Air Transport (Canaero) and the International Air Transport Association (IATA) warned that a reduction in resources for the aeronautical authority could limit its capacity to fulfill its supervisory, certification, and oversight responsibilities .

The federal government proposes allocating 175.45 million pesos to the AFAC , compared to the 657.5 million pesos approved for 2026. The difference represents a reduction of 73.3 percent .

The proposal places AFAC at one of its lowest budget levels since its creation , while maintaining responsibilities related to operational safety and the oversight of airlines, technical personnel, aircraft, airports and training centers.

Industry warns of risks due to budget cuts

In a statement, Canaero and IATA indicated that the adjustment comes at a time when airlines are facing pressure from fuel costs , as well as regulatory and operational challenges stemming from the bilateral relationship with the United States. “All of this demands a strong aeronautical authority, with adequate technical and operational capacity and financial resources for its proper functioning,” they stated.

“However, the 2027 Economic Package proposes measures that move in the opposite direction. The 73% reduction to the AFAC budget weakens the institution responsible for ensuring operational safety, technical oversight, and compliance with international standards,” the document stated.

The concern takes on greater significance when considering the volume of activity that Mexican aviation maintains.

According to the Mexican Transportation Institute (IMT) , 11 million passengers traveled in July 2026 , 0.6% more than in the same month of 2025. In that same period, 93,526 tons of air cargo were transported, an annual growth of 2 percent.

AFAC maintains monitoring and certification agenda

The budget debate also comes after a series of AFAC activities related to monitoring and compliance with international standards.

Last August, the agency reported that it had concluded the evaluation of the International Air Safety Assessment Program (IASA) of the United States Federal Aviation Administration , a process relevant to Mexico’s continued status in Category 1 of air safety.

In July, AFAC also renewed the aerodrome certificates for the Tijuana and Los Cabos airports , after verifying compliance with national and international standards for infrastructure, maintenance, equipment, and operational safety.

Canaero and IATA requested that the Ministry of Finance and Public Credit (SHCP) and the Chamber of Deputies reconsider the scope of the budget reduction and guarantee the necessary resources so that AFAC can fulfill its responsibilities.

The proposal is still part of the discussion process for the 2027 Economic Package. Therefore, the proposed amount does not yet constitute the final budget for the agency.

In response to this concern, on September 10, the AFAC reported that “in 2027 it will have additional resources beyond those foreseen in the 2027 Economic Package, to strengthen its institutional capacities and address the priorities of the national aeronautical sector.”

Without mentioning the exact figure, the Ministry of Finance and Public Credit (SHCP) stated that it “will guarantee the necessary resources for the Federal Civil Aviation Agency (AFAC) to carry out its regulatory, supervisory and monitoring functions, as well as the actions aimed at strengthening operational safety in the country,” according to a press release.

“This measure is consistent with the Mexican government’s vision of consolidating a safe, efficient and constantly growing aviation sector, and recognizes civil aviation as a strategic sector for connectivity and economic development in Mexico,” the agency emphasized.

The Port of Long Beach , located in California, United States, reached its highest level of activity for that month in August 2026 and the fifth most intense in 115 years of history,  by moving 919,992 TEUs (20-foot containers) , which represented an increase of 2% compared to August 2025, despite the environment generated by tariffs and geopolitical uncertainty.

Imports grew 3.6% , reaching 456,100 TEUs, while exports increased 4% , with 99,754 TEUs.

In contrast, the movement of empty containers decreased by 0.39%, to stand at 364,138 TEUs.

With this result, the Port of Long Beach accumulated 6,678,078 TEUs between January and August 2026 , an increase of 1.3% compared to the same period last year.

“Our August figures indicate that carriers continue to adapt to tariffs and geopolitical uncertainty and are confident in the Port of Long Beach’s ability to deliver,” said Noel Hacegaba, CEO of the Port of Long Beach.

The executive added that the figures also reflect the importance of maintaining a safe port for its users.

Infrastructure to increase capacity

Long Beach maintains a modernization program aimed at increasing its capacity and operational efficiency.

The port plans to invest $3.3 billion in capital over the next decade , aimed at modernizing infrastructure and developing digital systems to improve the efficiency and visibility of operations.

Within its vision towards 2050, the facility plans to double its current container handling capacity to reach 20 million TEUs annually .

The strategy also envisions moving towards zero-emission operations , in line with the environmental objectives set by the port.

Currently, the Port of Long Beach handles cargo valued at $300 billion annually and, according to the port authority, its activities contribute to generating 2.7 million jobs in the United States .

The Port of Long Beach is the United States’ primary gateway for transpacific trade. It handles over $300 billion in cargo annually  and is one of the 18 strategic commercial seaports in the United States.

The trailer market, like the motor unit market, is depressed and is close to the volume of 22,000 units where it should be, since by 2026 a market of less than 20,000 units is predicted.

In this context, Fruehauf maintains a combined strategy of organic growth with its current customer base, as well as conquering new markets and regions.

On this route, Fruehauf delivered a batch of 35 dry boxes to International Logistics and Transport Service (SILT) , which is focused on acquiring new customers and serving a region that is important to the manufacturer, such as the Northwest.

“We held talks for several months to renew the equipment, offer them state-of-the-art equipment and thereby win over a customer, and thus gain a foothold in the northwest area, which is a strategic area for us,” Rodrigo Arcos, commercial director of Fruehauf, told T21.

The equipment delivered consists of 53-foot composite dry vans of the Fleet Flyer model, which is focused on helping carriers achieve the lowest total cost of ownership (TCO).

Miguel Martínez, CEO of Fruehauf, highlighted that with this delivery they will work to be a strategic partner for SILT, by offering them engineering, after-sales support throughout the entire cycle, and offering Fruehauf’s availability and commitment to the industry.

“We appreciate the relationship of trust with a company of more than three decades, which has a solid reputation for the quality of its services, an example to follow with its fleet renewal process,” added Martínez.

SILT was founded in 1994 in Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua , primarily to serve the region’s maquiladora industry. In 2007, it expanded its operations to the United States with the establishment of SILT Leasing & Transportation Services.

“This is the beginning of a business relationship that we hope will last for many years, and that will allow us to continue offering quality service to the clients who place their trust in us. We hope they are the first of many teams,” highlighted Yadira González, founder and CFO (Chief Financial Officer) of SILT.

Holman , a firm based in New Jersey, USA, with a history of more than 100 years in the automotive services market, announced the acquisition of all of ARIZA.

ARIZA was a joint venture in equal parts between Holman and Corporación Zapata, with which Holman will now strengthen its presence in the fleet management business with multinationals in North America.

As part of this transition, the ARIZA brand will be discontinued and the company will operate under the name Holman.

“At Holman, we are honored and grateful to have collaborated with the Zapata family for more than 30 years on this successful joint venture,” said Chris Conroy, CEO of Holman. “The integration of ARIZA into Holman reflects our confidence in the Mexican market, our commitment to supporting our customers throughout North America, and our appreciation for the talented team that has helped build this business.”

ARIZA was founded in 1995 as a joint venture between Holman and Corporación Zapata , with the goal of helping its customers respond to the increasingly complex demands involved in operating a multinational fleet.

For over 30 years, ARIZA has accumulated extensive experience in fleet management, innovative technology, and local market knowledge to optimize performance and transform fleet vehicles into strategic business assets. This acquisition will integrate ARIZA’s team, operations, and customer service into Holman.

Holman customers will now have a single point of contact, standardized processes, and a broader service offering across the United States, Canada, and Mexico. This integration will enable Holman to provide the comprehensive and coordinated fleet management experience across countries that its multinational customers require. ARIZA’s offices, website, digital platforms, and customer materials will gradually adopt the Holman name and brand identity.

Corporación Zapata was founded in 1956 and operates in the land transportation and mobility sector. It maintains a presence in the markets for the distribution of automobiles, commercial vehicles, trailers, buses, used vehicles, and auctions.

Security technology is gaining ground in the trucking industry, but simply having devices, cameras, and connectivity platforms doesn’t guarantee their full potential. Operator training and data utilization remain two of the main gaps in maximizing the benefits of these tools.

This was explained by Itzel Alpízar, Business Intelligence & Connectivity Strategy Manager at Daimler Truck Mexico , who pointed out that currently the carriers themselves are showing greater interest in incorporating security solutions into their units, a different scenario from previous years, when brands had to more strongly promote their adoption.

“Customers are usually the ones who seek out or want to ensure they have some of these devices or security features in their vehicles. However, I think the missing piece in the industry now is the full utilization of all the data and all the technology,” he commented.

In an interview with T21, Alpízar explained that the brand’s strategy is focused on strengthening its connectivity and security ecosystem, as well as using technology to contribute to the efficiency of its customers’ operations.

Among the available tools, he mentioned Detroit Assurance and Freightliner Link 3.0 , which work together to generate safety protocols with a preventative approach. Through artificial intelligence (AI), it is possible to process different stimuli from both the environment and the vehicle itself to detect alerts that require action.

The goal, he explained, is to act before an accident occurs or, when an incident has already happened, to activate protocols that help protect the vehicle, the cargo, and the driver. In terms of road safety, the tools also aim to anticipate risk factors such as fatigue.

Training, a gap to close

However, technology requires the participation of those behind the wheel. Alpízar identified the training and awareness of drivers as one of the main gaps in taking advantage of available solutions.

He explained that the company works with its clients on training to facilitate familiarization with these technologies, as there are still cases in which operators obstruct the cameras or show resistance to using them.

“When we show them these videos or best practices with other clients that have helped us prevent accidents or prevent theft, their thinking and adoption change quite a bit,” he said.

The second challenge lies in the data . The platforms generate large volumes of information that need to be translated into decisions and preventative actions.

As an example, he pointed out that if a road is identified where, on a certain incline, vehicles tend to exceed their speed excessively, parameters and other actions can be established to help prevent risks. Customizing platforms, devices, and alerts also allows solutions to be tailored to each client’s needs.

The relationship between carriers and these tools has also changed. According to Alpízar, initially it was the responsibility of the supplier companies to approach clients and demonstrate the need to incorporate technology; now, it is the carriers themselves who seek out security devices and solutions.

However, he considered that the next step for the industry will be to take full advantage of the information generated by these technologies , so that the data can be translated into specific measures for each operation.

More tracking capabilities

Looking ahead to the evolution of these solutions, the company is working on incorporating additional tracking sensors , with the intention of facilitating the monitoring of different components of the operation, even when there are changes in boxes or goods.

It also seeks to strengthen tools focused on operator performance. Alpízar explained that they already have Driver Coach , which provides operators with suggestions to improve their performance, while they work on strengthening a scoring system that allows clients to identify best practices and replicate them among their other operators.

Given what he described as a challenging macroeconomic environment, the strategy will be to stay close to customers and complement the units with solutions that allow them to make better use of their assets.

“What we are looking for is to be very close to our customers and be able to offer them these kinds of differentiators that help them to take full advantage not only of the unit, but also of the range of solutions we have to support them in this situation,” he pointed out.

SAN LUIS POTOSÍ, SLP. – Thirty-two years ago, San Luis Potosí was the starting point for Scania ‘s story in Mexico . Today, amidst an economic climate that has led companies to hold back or postpone investments, the automaker has returned to the same location to open a new door: its first Scania Used Vehicle Hub in the country.

With an investment of 4.5 million pesos , the new space adds 1,500 square meters and 10 service bays intended to inspect, intervene and fine-tune used vehicles before returning them to the market.

Aaron Sanchez, manager of the Altiplano and Western Region of Scania Mexico, explained that San Luis Potosi was chosen as the first point because of its location and connectivity, but the operational objective is what happens before delivering a vehicle again.

“What we are looking for is for this workshop to function in order to guarantee that the purchase of used vehicles […] results in a unit without faults, a unit that is ready for the road,” he said.

And to get back on the road, the units go through a checklist of up to 100 points , divided into five categories that cover safety and operational control, powertrain, diagnostics, chassis, suspension, structure and cab conditions.

The inspection can extend to the vehicle’s inner workings. If necessary, technicians can remove and repair an engine , as well as work on the transmission and differentials before the vehicle is put back on sale.

The return to San Luis Potosí also has a historical component for the company. Gisela Quintero, Director of Customer Experience and Services at Scania Mexico, recalled that it was precisely there where the company began its journey in the country.

But the opening also comes at a time when investment decisions face a less straightforward scenario.

Manuel Aranda, Retail Director of Scania Mexico, acknowledged that the country is experiencing a “quite uncertain” economic situation and that, in such scenarios, companies tend to slow down or postpone investments . In response, he maintained that the company’s strategy has been to maintain investments in infrastructure and customer service capacity.

“At Scania we have been doing the complete opposite; we have been opening new sites, expanding our capacity, hiring more staff, and investing in tooling,” said Aranda, who added that the expansion will continue to increase service capacity in the country.

In addition to infrastructure, another key element for the used car market is knowing the vehicle’s history . During the presentation, it was detailed that 98% of the vehicles considered were covered by a maintenance policy , allowing their service history to be traced through the brand’s workshops.

For his part, David Hernández, National Manager of Used Vehicles at Scania Mexico, explained that the strategy seeks precisely to extend the life cycle of vehicles and support fleet renewal beyond the sale of new units.

“Fleet renewal in the trucking industry doesn’t just depend on selling new units, but also on the ecosystem that surrounds them,” he noted.

The scheme also targets small and medium-sized transport companies looking to incorporate newer vehicles without necessarily acquiring a new unit, in a market where knowing the maintenance, mechanical conditions and costs that may come after the purchase can make the difference.

With San Luis Potosí as its starting point, Scania thus opens a new stage for its used and multi-brand business in Mexico, extending the support of the units beyond their first owner.

The fleet renewal program for motor transport promoted by the Ministry of Economy (SE) not only seeks to modernize the motor fleet (tractors and trucks) that has an average age of 19.4 years (considering cargo and passenger trucks), but could also become a gateway for more heavy units to begin to be insured, considered Alfredo Careaga, director of Business Development of THB Mexico .

“Overall, we think the initiative is very good in terms of renewing a rather old fleet, and I believe this incentive is positive,” Careaga stated in an interview with T21, adding that the program promoted by the federal government stems from an obvious need: an aging fleet and historical difficulties in accessing financing .

For Careaga, the initiative may have effects that go beyond the purchase of units, particularly in road safety and risk management , although it will be necessary to observe its implementation and the requirements that carriers must meet to access credit.

The modernization program includes financing schemes backed by guarantees from Nacional Financiera (Nafin) for micro and small transport operators with between one and 30 vehicles , who will be able to acquire new or used vehicles. The maximum financing amount under the shared-risk scheme is 15 million pesos or its equivalent in US dollars, and the option to acquire new vehicles will be for up to 84 months with a minimum down payment of 10 percent.

For pre-owned units, the maximum term will be  up to 60 months with a minimum down payment of 15 percent .

Although the plan is being implemented by the Ministry of Infrastructure, Communications and Transportation (SICT) , it is part of a broader package announced by the Ministry of Economy within the Mexico Plan to promote the renewal of heavy vehicles. This package includes tax incentives, guarantees, a new Official Mexican Standard, and measures to protect domestic production .

From Careaga’s perspective, one of the biggest benefits of the renewal is the incorporation of technology and safety devices in the new units, such as GPS tracking systems and other elements that can contribute both to fleet monitoring and to a faster response to incidents.

The specialist considered that, if new vehicles must introduce certain measures to access credit, it would create an incentive to improve risk management , especially for micro, small and medium-sized enterprises, which usually face greater difficulties in obtaining financing and which, from Careaga’s point of view, are the ones that concentrate older units with fewer safety measures,

Insurance sector, a piece of financing

The participation of the insurance sector could be another factor in determining the program’s scope. Alfredo Careaga stated that insurers are interested in adding new vehicles to their portfolios , particularly those with improved safety features.

The specialist indicated that the renewal could also expand insurance penetration in the motor transport sector.

According to SICT statistics, the fleet serving federal motor transport totaled 762,821 motor units in 2025 , representing an annual increase of 5.4 percent.

In the same cycle, the Mexican Association of Insurance Institutions (AMIS) identified 927,978 heavy units —including trucks, tractor-trailers, minibuses, buses and semi-trailers— that were insured.

In that regard, Alfredo Carega suggested that insurance could be more directly linked to loans. If a financial institution provides funds to acquire a vehicle, protecting that asset can reduce the risk of default in the event of an accident or theft .

The executive also considered that the initiative could serve as a first stage to test a scheme that could later be expanded with greater private participation, which would represent an opportunity to support financial institutions and carriers in designing adequate coverage for vehicles acquired under the scheme proposed by the federal government.

In this way, the renewal of the vehicle fleet presents an opportunity that goes beyond taking old units out of circulation: it can link financing, safety and insurance under the same scheme.

An online purchase may begin with a click, but behind that action lies an entire ecosystem that impacts far beyond the transaction itself and transcends the socioeconomic sphere. This is one of the changes revealed by the so-called “MELI Effect ,” a study presented by Mercado Libre during the sixth edition of Mercado Libre Experience .

According to the analysis, Mercado Libre operated with 138 logistics centers in 2025, with a direct presence in 67 localities or municipalities in 31 federal entities, and more than 8,360 delivery and pickup agencies distributed in the 32 states of the country.

“Reducing logistics costs and times is what enables the growth of e-commerce, and it benefits small, peripheral, and low-ticket sellers the most,” the company said in a statement.

The study highlighted that the direct and indirect impact of the Mercado Libre ecosystem on the Mexican economy was more than 106.4 billion pesos (mdp) , equivalent to approximately 0.4% of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP).

In addition, more than 220,000 small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) sold their products through the platform last year. For 68% of them, this was their first online sales experience, while for 51% it is their primary sales channel.

In Mexico, a growing portion of online sales comes from SMEs and entrepreneurs.

The study revealed that two out of three SMEs reached cities they previously did not have commercial access to , while 47% used artificial intelligence for the first time through Mercado Libre’s tools.

“If there’s one thing that’s become clear to us in 27 years of operating in the country, it’s that Mexico has enormous transformative potential. Our job is to put technology, scale, and capabilities behind that momentum to democratize digital commerce and finance,” highlighted David Geisen, CEO of Mercado Libre Mexico and SVP of Commerce for Hispanics.

A market that continues to grow

This result comes in a Mexican market where e-commerce maintains double-digit growth rates. According to the Mexican Online Sales Association (AMVO) , e -commerce reached a value of 941 billion pesos in 2025 , a 19.2% increase compared to 2024. Retail represented 17.7% of the total market in the country.

For Mercado Libre, the impact extends beyond commerce. In 2025, more than 950,000 businesses and entrepreneurs used Mercado Pago to process payments . According to the study, 85% identified the platform as their primary payment method, and for more than half, it was their only one. Furthermore, over 40% of users in Mexico accessed a personal loan for the first time through Mercado Pago .

“These numbers reaffirm that Mercado Pago is part of the daily lives of millions of users and, without a doubt, the digital account of choice for Mexican SMEs. What we achieve with digital finance is breaking down barriers and providing solutions that support the needs of Mexicans and their businesses in multiple aspects of their financial lives,” highlighted Pedro Rivas, Vice President and General Manager of Mercado Pago Mexico.

On the demand side, 82% of surveyed consumers identified Mercado Libre as their first choice for searching for products , while 65% valued the possibility of accessing goods that are not available in their city.

The “MELI Effect” study was prepared using the company’s own information, an input-output model to estimate direct and indirect effects on GDP and employment using the methodology of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) .

This impact is also reflected in job creation. In 2025, the company directly employed more than 34,300 people in the country ; for every direct job, three more indirect jobs were generated throughout the rest of the economy, sustained by the economic impact of the ecosystem. In total, last year more than 136,800 jobs were linked to the company’s ecosystem.

“The multiplier effect of the Mercado Libre ecosystem translates into opportunities for growth and economic development for businesses and individuals, as well as an important contribution to the national economy to continue delivering the best of Mexico,” said David Geisen.

According to its second quarter 2026 results report, Mercado Libre obtained revenues of $10.2 billion, which meant a year-on-year growth of 50%.

The Grupo CICE Semi-Specialized Container and Cargo Terminal , located in the North Bay of the port of Veracruz, opened a new operational stage with the commissioning of two Liebherr P180 LS Multipurpose Rail Cranes (GPR) , equipment with which the company expands its capabilities to serve maritime services and perform maneuvers with different cargo configurations.

The integration of the equipment progressed from the installation phase to commercial operation with the service of two shipping lines. The first was ALTAMIRA EXPRESS, operated by CMA CGM , with the arrival of the vessel ELBBRIDGE ; while the second crane became operational with the ZIM GULF TOUCAN service, operated by ZIM Integrated Shipping Services , during the stopover of the SPYROS V.

With these operations, both teams were formally integrated into the work scheme of the North Bay terminal, expanding the resources available to respond to the needs of the shipping lines that call at this facility in the port of Veracruz.

One of the key features of the new cranes is precisely their versatility. The Liebherr P180 LS cranes have a safe lifting capacity of up to 65 tons and can reach up to 80 tons using Twin Lift operations, a configuration that allows for the simultaneous handling of two containers.

For operations requiring higher capacities, the cranes can work in tandem , handling loads between 80 and 100 tons. This feature is particularly relevant for a facility that, in addition to container handling, is designed to handle project cargo, where the dimensions and weights of the components require different operational configurations than those used in conventional containerized cargo handling.

In addition, it has a capacity of up to 20 rows of containers , a feature that expands the possibilities for serving vessels and strengthens the terminal’s capacity to meet the demands posed by the evolution of maritime services.

The addition of the equipment also has a technological component. The GPR cranes are equipped with ROS systems for remote operation , as well as Active Front End technology, which allows for energy recovery during certain phases of crane operation. In this way, the expansion of physical capabilities is accompanied by tools designed to optimize maneuvers and the performance of port operations.

The commissioning of the two cranes is thus integrated into the operational development of the Semi-Specialized Container and Cargo Terminal Project of Grupo CICE in Bahía Norte, an infrastructure from which the company seeks to increase its capacity to respond to the dynamics of maritime services that connect the port of Veracruz with different markets.

Beyond adding two pieces of equipment to its infrastructure, its commissioning expands Grupo CICE’s options for handling different types of maneuvers from the same terminal, both for containerized cargo and for operations that demand greater lifting capacities.
