Grupo Traxion, a Mexican trucking firm, is expanding its services to transport industrial workers, capitalizing on the nearshoring trend. The company plans to invest 4.2 billion pesos in 2024, marking a 24% increase from the previous year. This expansion aims to facilitate worker transportation to remote industrial areas, enhancing convenience and safety.

Fox Admits He Intervened in the 2006 Election: 'I Operated for Mexico to Win'
Former Mexican President Vicente Fox admitted to intervening in the 2006 election, aiming for a victory for Mexico. This aligns with past statements by Roberto Madrazo, who in 2018 recounted Felipe Calderón's request to present electoral records, which he refused. Mexico's current president, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, has repeatedly claimed that the 2006 election was fraudulent, a claim supported by his party's allegations of irregularities. Fox also mentioned an encounter with Morena candidate Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo at the airport.

Air Liquide is reviewing its options and remains committed to legal compliance in all jurisdictions.
