After Tesla's investment announcement in Nuevo León, the National Auto Parts Industry (INA) estimated the arrival of new suppliers for the production of components such as batteries and other parts for electric cars, whose capital opportunity would range around 15,000 million dollars (mdd) for the next five years.

Tesla's arrival has the potential to boost infrastructure development and other spurs for EV adoption. It is expected that, of the total number of vehicles that will be consumed in the world in 10 years, at least 50% will be hybrid and electric, so Mexico would advance in this matter, said Francisco González, president of the INA.

Also, he said, the units produced in Mexico will increase their national content, as has happened with the electric cars that Ford assembles in our country.

According to the INA, Mexico will play a fundamental role for the manufacture of Tesla vehicles, since it estimates that at least 20% of the value of the units that the company assembles have components produced in Mexico.

This percentage will increase with the establishment of the company in the country, derived from the precedent that exists of clean technology models produced in national territory, such as the Ford Mustang Mach-E, which has up to 80% of its value manufactured in Mexico. Gonzalez added.

The president of INA recalled that the manufacture of auto parts represents 37% of the investment opportunities in Mexico derived from nearshoring, for which million-dollar investments are expected in the coming years.
