“With this new bypass there is a kind of railway overpass, which will avoid these congestions and stop rail traffic. The benefit is for those who are living in Celaya and for the merchandise since it will pass through it faster and hopefully it will also bring benefits for the export trade through the port of Lázaro Cárdenas and what goes to the northern border such as Laredo and Matamoros, which are the ones we operate in,” he mentioned.

Óscar del Cueto explained that Guanajuato has become an automotive logistics hub, with Celaya being the city that has 2 companies in the sector, which has encouraged investments in the railway industry and in other sectors.
