An economic slowdown, tariff announcements by U.S. President Donald Trump, stringent regulations, and more are factors echoing the current environment and affecting the business landscape.

Despite this context, Scania Mexico is committed to the country with sustained investments and long-term expansion plans, according to Alejandro Mondragón, CEO of the company, during the inauguration of the branch in Tepotzotlán, State of Mexico, where he addressed the economic challenges facing Mexico and highlighted the company’s commitment to innovation in the transportation sector.

In his remarks, Mondragón noted that Mexico is the country most exposed to tariffs in its trade relationship with the United States, as more than 40% of its Gross Domestic Product (GDP) depends on exports and imports from that country, a situation that represents a challenge for the industry.

“However, Scania reaffirms its commitment to Mexico with major investments, demonstrating that we are here for the long term,” Mondragón said.

He assured that the company maintains its confidence in the Mexican market and will continue with its growth plan. As part of this strategy, the company plans to open 45 branches in the country by 2029 .

“This is our way of telling the country that Scania is in Mexico for the long term. This isn’t a one- or two-year project; we’re here to be part of the country’s society and industrial development,” Mondragón said.

Regarding technology, he highlighted the company’s role in the evolution of transportation in Mexico, especially in the sale of cab-over trucks.

He explained that Scania leads the bus segment, ensuring that one in every two buses on the roads operates with the brand’s technology and that Mexico is the market that sells the most Scania bus platforms globally.

In his speech, Mondragón acknowledged the country’s economic challenges, but made it clear that Scania will continue to support the future of transportation in Mexico.
