MEXICO CITY (Reuters) -Ford shipped its very first batch of vehicles from the once-ignored Guaymas port near its plant in the northern Mexican state of Sonora on Tuesday, in a task that, if totally released, might cut its logistics expenses by 30%.
The preliminary delivery of pick-ups and Broncos, headed for Chile, belongs to a wider re-vamp of the Guaymas port, a facilities job headed by outbound President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador.
Ford has actually long been sending its cars almost 2,000 kilometers (1,242 miles) over land from Hermosillo to the port of Lazaro Cardenas, in the state of Michoacan, Sonora Guv Alfonso Durazo stated in an interview.
Durazo explained the long run as a “logistical disaster” that might quickly be repaired by moving shipping to the Guaymas port.
