Government of the State of Durango
The state of Durango has a big advantage due to its proximity to the south-west of the United States, which allows a fast connection to the largest North American market. The region is then very competitive for autoparts and automotive industry destinated to be sold in the neighbour country. Furthermore, Durango is located near to the light vehicles industry cluster spread along the American border, which gives even more attractiveness to the state, as the presence of Delphi, International Wire and AAMSA Yazaki among others can prove it. The state is also situated in the middle of the autoparts Mexican cluster, half a way from the northern states, half a way from the central states, which is an important benefit in terms of proximity to suppliers and customers. Durango has 4 autoparts companies producing in its territory a total gross production amount of 130 Million USD. Link to Durango's SEDECO website

Government of the State of Tlaxcala
The state of Tlaxcala has a strategic location on the central Mexican Corridor. Due to its proximity to big ports in the Golf of Mexico (Port of Veracruz) and in the Pacific Ocean (Port of Lazaro Cardenas), products have a quick way out to all the places in the world. Furthermore, there is a dense terrestrial infrastructure to the north which allows an excellent connection to Northern American markets. It is also important to highlight the proximity of international airports such as Mexico City airport and Queretaro airport which makes possible to connect in some hours every place in the world to the production centres. Also the concentration of automotive activities within and nearly Tlaxcala plays a key role: Armadora Insense, Dana, Delphi, Forjas Spicer, Haas and Schneider Electric among others are present in Tlaxcala, while Volkswagen has a production centre in the neighbour state of Puebla. The proximity to light and heavy automotive industry is high. The state concentrates 12 autoparts companies with a total gross production of 256 Million USD. Link to Tlaxcala's SEDECO website

Government of the State of Chihuahua
Due to its strategic location on the US-Mexican border, the State of Chihuahua offers reduced logistic costs and highly responsive supply chains for firms operating on the US market. This proximity also allows the State to share a lot of cultural aspects with the USA like western way of thinking and doing business, low communication barriers, as well as a sizeable pool of US educated managers. This combined with a competitive labour cost and a growing number of highly skilled engineers and managers graduating every year lead to the State of Chihuahua to be a highly competitive location for firms. In the end, the important and historical automotive cluster present in Chihuahua, with firms such as Ford, Bosch, Continental and Good Year, makes of us an experimented and recognized state within the Mexican automotive sector.
