*There are cases where recently released data and detailed information in the database do not match up for reasons including different information sources, and discrepancies between preliminary reports and confirmed data.

Mexico auto production decreases 9.6% in August
OEMs built 337,462 light vehicles in Mexico in August 2019, resulting in a 9.6% decrease compared to the 373,242 units built in the same month of 2018, according to the National Institute of Statistics and Geography (Inegi).
Inegi’s August 2019 production data does not includes Mercedes-Benz A Class production at the COMPAS plant in Aguascalientes, however, it does include the 3,440 BMW 3 Series sedans produced in August at that company’s new plant in San Luis Potosi.
The OEMs with production increases in August include Ford with a 11.6% increase to 24,002 units; Honda with a 372.6% increase relative to August last year, due to flooding and plant closure in 2018, to 19,330 units; and Toyota with a 1.5% increase to 18,262 units.
