Climate Policy Engagement Analysis
Climate Policy Engagement Overview: The Mexican Automotive Industry Association (AMIA) engages on climate policy in Mexico with both positive and negative positions. The association had limited engagement with specific climate policies in 2023-25, but has consistently advocated for a transition to electromobility in Mexico, although it promotes internal combustion engine (ICE-powered) hybrids as well as electric vehicles.
Top-line Messaging on Climate Policy: InfluenceMap did not find evidence of the Mexican Automotive Industry Association's (AMIA) engagement with climate policy in its top-line messaging in 2023-2025. The entity did not disclose a position on IPCC-recommended emissions reductions, the need for climate regulation, or the UN Paris Agreement.
Engagement with Climate-Related Policies The Mexican Automotive Industry Association (AMIA) has limited transparent engagement with specific climate-related policies. The entity submitted comments to the Mexican government in which it advocated for recuperation and recycling programs for batteries and engines in electric and hybrid vehicles to be included on the National Mobility and Road Safety Strategy 2023-2042 in August 2023.
Position on Energy Transition The Mexican Automotive Industry Association’s (AMIA) engagement with the energy transition appears supportive, albeit with some exceptions. AMIA consistently advocated for comprehensive public policy that includes a legal framework on electric and hybrid vehicles that allows for energy sufficiency and access to clean and renewable sources at competitive costs, for example in an article in May 2024. However, the entity has stated that it considers ICE-powered hybrids as a "clean” alternative to traditional ICE vehicles, including in a comment on the National Mobility and Road Safety Strategy 2023-2042 in August 2023.
The Director General Odracir Barquera endorsed the development of energy policy to scale up "clean and renewable” energy to support the transition to electromobility in Mexico in an article in Industrial Insider in May 2024.
InfluenceMap collects and assesses evidence of corporate climate policy engagement on a regular basis, depending on the availability of information from each specific data source (for more information see our methodology). Due to the limited engagement detected by InfluenceMap on climate policy from this association, the analysis informing the association's scores and summary is updated periodically. This assessment was last updated in Q3 2025.
