Logistics demand in Toluca is on the rise

The Toluca, Lerma, and Ocoyoacac industrial corridor is no longer just a fallback option for the national logistics sector. With the Mexico City Metropolitan Area saturated and operating at the highest industrial rates in the country, developers, corporate tenants, and investment funds are redirecting capital toward a corridor that the Mexico-Toluca Intercity Train is promoting as a viable alternative.

The train carried 8.3 million passengers in 2025, according to the Agency for Trains and Integrated Public Transportation (ATTRAPI).

Its adoption goes beyond simply transporting people and talent: by absorbing a significant portion of mobility between the two valleys, it freed up capacity on the Mexico-Toluca highway and optimized transit times for freight and last-mile transport, which directly translate into operational costs.

The impact is two-way. On the one hand, rail connectivity facilitates the flow of specialized talent between the two valleys, allowing corporations to establish distribution and manufacturing centers without fear of a shortage of skilled labor.
