T21 | November 24, 2022 |

The automotive industry, like the vast majority, suffered effects in its supply chain due to the global environment, first with the COVID-19 pandemic and later due to the geopolitical problems in Eastern Europe, but the challenge continues towards electrification.

In Mexico, the automotive industry plays a very important role, since the country is the 5th world exporter, with a representation in Mexican manufacturing of 32%.

91% of the cars produced in Mexico are exported and despite the disruptions, in which production was reduced by 800,000 vehicles in 2021 due to the semiconductor crisis, compared to 2019, the industry has remained one of the most important in the world.

"The domestic market should give more, there are factors that influence and have not helped the domestic market grow," said José Zozaya, executive president of the Mexican Association of the Automotive Industry (AMIA), within the framework of Automotive Logistics & Supply Chain Mexico.

Likewise, Zozaya mentioned that it will be until 2025 when the industry is fully regularized, so it is important that Mexico continue working on its competitiveness, with the introduction of clean energy, investment attraction and more competitive costs.

In this sense, he assured that the electrical transition will take place with or without Mexico, so the Mexican industry must get on the boat and lead the electrification, but for this it will have to go through several challenges.

For example, that the government provides the necessary support for this transition to take place, with infrastructure, such as charging stations; incentives, such as toll fee exceptions; and consumer education on these cars.

"To strengthen communication we must face the challenges together, we need a lot of communication about how we work in the future to build an infrastructure and strategies for this technology because there are many things that we still do not know," said Francisco Bravo, Senior Supply Chain Director at Audi Mexico. .

Likewise, it is necessary to "look for local partners who want to invest in electrification because it is a headache having to import everything, we look for local partners, as well as having flexibility with the exchange of possibilities in the market", according to Siegfried Jung,Vice President Production System and Logistics at the BMW Group.

For his part, Fabio García, head of Aftersales at Volkswagen Truck & Buses Mexico; He assured that the electric vehicle industry must be standardized in terms of chargers, infrastructure and the technical aspects of car production.
