In 2015, fleet sales grew to 20% of all auto sales in Mexico. The growth in the Mexican economy is not only with local businesses but also by foreign investments, as a multitude of international companies are building all-new plants in Mexico to export products to the U.S. and other countries in South America, Europe, and Asia.
Mike Antich, editor and associate publisher of Automotive Fleet, a sister fleet publication of Auto Rental News, has put together this assessment of the commercial fleet market in Mexico. There is a summary of the fleet market condition, size of the fleet market, fleet vehicle preferences, the used-vehicle market, interest rates and taxation, and maintenance trends.
