Audi has a car factory near the town, with a capacity of 150,000 units per year, including the Q5.[2] Engines are imported from Germany. Most of the finished cars are transported by rail,[3] but 13-17 trucks per day are also used.[4] About half of the cars are exported to Europe[3] through Veracruz, while Lázaro Cárdenas is used for cars and parts to United States, China, and India.[4]
