U.S. Auto Tariffs Force Major Logistics Restructuring in Mexico

What if automotive tariff rates increase another 10-15% in the next quarter?

Model a scenario where U.S. tariffs on Mexican automotive imports increase by an additional 10-15% over the next 90 days. Simulate the impact on inbound logistics costs, cross-border transportation routing decisions, and whether nearshoring or inventory stockpiling becomes economically advantageous.

What if companies accelerate inventory builds pre-tariff to reduce duty costs?

Model a demand spike scenario where automotive supply chain teams attempt to build inventory buffers before anticipated tariff increases take effect. Simulate the impact on warehouse capacity utilization, cross-border transportation volume spikes, working capital requirements, and potential oversupply situations.

What if Mexican logistics providers shift warehousing strategy closer to U.S. border?

Simulate a scenario where major logistics providers consolidate Mexican warehousing capacity closer to the U.S.-Mexico border rather than maintaining distribution points in central Mexico. Model the impact on delivery times, transportation costs, inventory carrying costs, and service level to Mexican manufacturers versus U.S. customers.
