Road transport accounts for 58% of freight in Mexico

The trucking, logistics, and foreign trade industries currently handle 58% of Mexico’s domestic freight, contributing 5.8% of the national Gross Domestic Product (GDP), and play a central role in the country’s productive and commercial connectivity.

During the 2026 Transportation and Logistics Suppliers Expo in Nuevo Leon, Augusto Ramos, president of CANACAR, noted that the daily work of operators, highways, and the trucking industry ensures that goods and supplies reach businesses and households across the country on time and in good condition.

Ramos also highlighted the importance of Nuevo León, the USMCA, and the manufacturing industry as factors that have made the state one of Mexico’s main logistics hubs.

Currently, the state has 15,000 licensed operators and a fleet of 85,000 heavy-duty vehicles, infrastructure that ensures constant connectivity to the main international border crossings on the northern border.

The constant flow of goods drives a broad network of suppliers, spare parts, and logistics equipment, considered essential for maintaining the operational efficiency and competitiveness of domestic and international trade.
