In a significant boost to Mexico's automotive sector, the Pesquería plant has been retooled to produce Kia's highly-anticipated EV3 electric vehicle through 2028. The upgraded facility is expected to increase local content, supporting the country's efforts to enhance its manufacturing capabilities and reduce reliance on imported components. Additionally, the plant's expansion will contribute to the accelerated charging infrastructure build-out in the region, enabling seamless travel for electric vehicle owners. With North America emerging as a key market for Kia's EV3, the Pesquería plant's increased production capacity will also drive exports to the US and Canada, solidifying Mexico's position as a major player in the global automotive supply chain.
