Mexico’s heavy-duty truck manufacturing sector showed renewed momentum in June, with production and exports rising year over year after more than a year of sluggish performance.
Manufacturers in Mexico assembled 15,262 heavy-duty trucks and buses during June, a 7.6% increase from the same month in 2025, according to from the National Institute of Statistics and Geography (INEGI) and the National Association of Bus, Truck and Tractor-Trailer Producers (Anpact)
Exports of Mexican-made trucks climbed 3.2% year over year to 12,730 units. Nearly all of Mexico’s heavy-duty vehicle exports continue to be destined for the United States, making U.S. freight demand the industry’s primary growth driver. “June closed with clear signs of recovery,” Anpact President Rogelio Arzate said during a news conference on June 9. The June performance also marked the first time since August 2024 that Mexico’s heavy-duty vehicle industry recorded year-over-year growth simultaneously in wholesale sales, production, exports and retail sales, according to Anpact.
The 16 members of Anpact in Mexico are Freightliner, Kenworth, Navistar, Hino, International, DINA, MAN SE, Mercedes-Benz, Isuzu, Scania, Shacman Trucks, Foton, Cummins, Detroit Diesel, Daimler Buses Mexico and Volkswagen Buses. Freightliner was the top truck producer and exporter in Mexico in June, producing 9,379 trucks, a 9.6% year-over-year increase. The truck maker exported 8,745 units during the month, a 6% year-over-year increase.
