San Pedro Garza Garc\u00eda<\/strong>, in the metropolitan area of Monterrey<\/strong>, Nuevo Le\u00f3n<\/strong>, is gearing up to become the epicenter of regional debate on sustainable transportation and urban innovation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This coming March 3<\/strong>, “Latam Mobility North America 2026<\/a><\/strong>” will bring together more than 50 business leaders<\/strong>, specialists, and strategic players connected to mobility, technology applied to transportation, and the development of smart cities in Latin America at the San Pedro Auditorium .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The gathering is positioned as a platform for analysis and partnership building in a context where Mexico <\/strong>and the region face structural challenges in vehicle electrification, urban infrastructure, traffic digitalization, and transportation decarbonization<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sustainable Mobility as a Core of Urban Development<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The summit will address mobility not only as a technical challenge but as a central component of contemporary urban planning<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The integration of efficient transportation systems, technological solutions, and public policies aligned with sustainability is now a priority in many Latin American cities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to data from the International Energy Agency<\/strong> (IEA), transportation accounts for nearly a quarter of global energy-related CO2<\/sub> emissions, which has driven the adoption of electrification strategies, smart logistics, and traffic optimization in large urban centers<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this context, spaces like “Latam Mobility North America 2026<\/a><\/strong>” seek to accelerate knowledge transfer and the implementation of concrete solutions, both in Mexico and Latin America.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Discussion Panels and Key Analysis Areas<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The summit’s agenda includes discussion panels, keynotes, conferences, and networking spaces focused on four major strategic axes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the central blocks will be dedicated to electric vehicle charging infrastructure<\/strong>, where business models, interoperability, regulation, and expansion of public and private networks in Latin America will be analyzed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another panel will address the decarbonization of last-mile logistics<\/strong>, a segment that has grown exponentially following the expansion of e-commerce: discussions will cover fleet electrification cases, urban micromobility, smart distribution centers, and digital tools to optimize routes and reduce emissions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Financing sustainable mobility projects<\/strong> will be another key focus, with specialists analyzing various public-private investment schemes and innovative mechanisms to accelerate clean transportation projects, smart infrastructure, and fleet renewal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Likewise, there will be spaces dedicated to smart cities and traffic digitalization<\/strong>, including analyses of intelligent traffic lights, real-time data usage, artificial intelligence applied to road management, and urban monitoring platforms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The panels will also integrate discussions on road safety, civic culture, energy transition, and the role of new technologies,<\/strong> such as autonomous vehicles and connected systems, in transforming the regional mobility ecosystem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Local Advances in Urban Mobility<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In addition to the academic program, the summit will include a technology exhibition open to the public in the vicinity of the San Pedro Auditorium<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Electric vehicles, charging solutions, traffic management technologies, and developments<\/strong> related to autonomous and connected mobility will be on display there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This component seeks to bring innovation closer to citizens and showcase practical applications of urban transformation, reinforcing the link between technology and quality of life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Furthermore, San Pedro will take advantage of the forum to present advances in infrastructure and traffic management, notably the Circuitos San Pedro<\/strong>, a system of urban routes that operates 15 routes and mobilizes more than 120,000 users per month, according to municipal data .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Progress in intelligent traffic lights<\/strong> will also be showcased. Currently, around 50% of traffic lights have energy backup through UPS systems, with the goal of achieving total coverage in the coming months .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These actions are part of a modernization strategy that seeks to integrate urban planning, technology, and operational efficiency in traffic management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
