MEXICO – During the tenth month of 2020, the automotive industry registered an increase in terms of production and exports, adding another month to the recovery after the historical crisis generated by the COVID-19 pandemic. In total, it registered a growth of 8.9% compared to the same month of 2019.
347,829 cars were produced within the country, according to figures from the Mexican Association of the Automotive Industry (AMIA) released by the National Institute of Statistics and Geography (Inegi).
In the accumulated of the year (January-October) 2,465,439 vehicles were assembled in the country; this level does represent a significantly lower result compared to last year, especially for April and May, months in which vehicle production remained practically zero. In this period of last year, 3,288,589 units had been produced, which reflects a year-on-year fall of 25.0%.
