The Kansas City Souther (KCS), Suministros Industriales Potosinos (SIPSA) and Transdevelopment Group (TDG) groups will develop the Central Bajío Vehicle Distribution Center (CDV), a state-of-the-art origin and destination terminal for the shipment of finished vehicles.

“The development of the CDV Central Bajío adds speed, capacity and markets. One of the objectives is to accelerate the response time of multilevel cars that make a round trip between the United States and Mexico, improving the availability of cars in the region, ”said Rodrigo Flores, vice president of automotive and intermodal for the railroad.

He also noted that unloading cars in the Bajío, near many of the assembly plants, where empty cars are needed, adds capacity and reduces congestion.

The terminal will be located 40 kilometers east of Querétaro, along the KCS main line between Monterrey and Lázaro Cárdenas, it will be built next to SIPSA's Transvase and Cross Dock terminal, the largest capacity of its kind in the net.
