The commercial policy of the United States has created a climate of uncertainty that continues to impact the heavy-duty vehicle sector. The Mexican Association of Automotive Distributors (AMDA) warns that demand remains weak, and that the review of the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) scheduled for 2026 will be decisive for the market’s future. Without clarity on the renegotiation terms, a recovery in heavy commercial vehicle sales is unlikely in the medium or long term, and the 25% decline is expected to persist.
The executive president of the National Association of Bus, Truck, and Tractor Producers (ANPACT), views the temporary suspension of tariffs by the current U.S. administration as a positive development. This pause provides space to advance USMCA renegotiations and mitigates additional tariffs on inputs like steel, aluminum, and copper. It also opens opportunities to redirect exports to alternative markets, such as Canada or Colombia.
