The Secretary of Economy of Nuevo León, Iván Rivas Rodríguez, highlighted that the state is on the right track to become an important electromobility Hub, with 85 suppliers for this sector.
He explained that supplying is the most important part of why Nuevo León is becoming a major electric mobility complex. “Yes it has to do with the assemblers, there is Kia Mexico that in the future maybe tells us that it will make its electric cars.”
“Navistar produces electric tractor-trailers and there is also Marco Polo and BYD that manufacture electric buses, there is already electric production, but the most important thing is the value chain,” said Rivas.
