Mexico’s heavy-duty truck manufacturing industry posted a sharp rebound in October, with production surging nearly 130% and exports jumping 159% compared with a year earlier, according to new government data.

Mexican manufacturers produced 16,375 heavy-duty vehicles during October, a 129.6% increase from 7,131 units in October 2025, according to the National Institute of Statistics and Geography (INEGI).

Exports climbed 158.9% to 13,518 vehicles, compared with 5,221 during the same month last year.

The gains highlight the recovery in Mexico’s export-oriented truck manufacturing industry, which relies heavily on the U.S. as its largest customer.
