The future of business mobility is closely tied to the transformation of cities through smart infrastructure.
Globally, investment in urban technology is growing rapidly: the smart city IoT market is expected to surpass 580 billion dollars by 2028, with an annual growth rate of 23%. This reflects how companies are moving toward environments where infrastructure adapts to their operational needs.
In Mexico, urban digitization projects are already being implemented with sensors, real-time traffic management, connected fleets, and monitoring platforms. These solutions optimize routes, reduce costs, and improve response times, especially for sectors like logistics, transportation, and distribution.
In this context, business connectivity becomes a strategic factor. The ability to integrate real-time technological platforms—such as fleet management, mobility analysis, and data-driven decision-making—allows companies to reduce emissions, streamline operations, and respond more swiftly to the logistical challenges of today and tomorrow.
Sustainability has moved beyond being a trend to become a mandatory axis of business operations.
Today, more than 100 countries have signed commitments to reduce their net carbon emissions to zero over the next 30 years. Transportation accounts for approximately 23% of global CO₂ emissions, making the transformation of this sector essential to achieving those goals.
In Europe, Asia, and North America, incentive programs, government regulations, and the accelerated development of charging infrastructure have led to significant growth in the use of electric vehicles, both in private fleets and public transportation. The electrification of corporate fleets is beginning to emerge as a competitive and reputational differentiator for companies.
In Mexico, progress in this transition is also remarkable. In 2023, sales of vehicles with electrified technologies grew by more than 40% and now represent over 5% of the national automotive market. Additionally, more than 20 energy projects have been announced across different states, focused on green hydrogen, solar energy, and electric mobility, with investments exceeding $20 billion.
On the other hand, the development of business strategies aligned with Net Zero goals is becoming an operational necessity. Companies are beginning to adopt ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) standards, which require them to redesign their logistics, incorporate clean mobility solutions, and reduce their environmental footprint across all stages of their value chain.
The Fourth Industrial Revolution is also transforming how companies move. Autonomous vehicles, 5G connectivity, artificial intelligence, blockchain, and Mobility as a Service (MaaS) are opening a new landscape in corporate mobility management.
Globally, countries like the United States, China, Japan, and Germany are leading the testing and implementation of advanced business mobility solutions: from driverless vehicles and smart fleets to predictive analytics systems for logistics. These technologies not only reduce costs but also enhance safety, operational control, and service flexibility.
In Mexico, digital transformation is also reaching the mobility sector. Companies are integrating technological solutions to manage fleets, optimize fuel consumption, monitor their units in real time, and offer flexible mobility models for employees. This digitalization improves both operational performance and the end-user experience.
The future of business mobility is hybrid, automated, and data-driven. Companies that integrate these trends into their operating models will gain not only efficiency, but also adaptability and competitiveness in the face of global changes.
The development of infrastructure and logistics represents one of the most important areas for investment and growth in the coming years. It is estimated that by 2030, the global transport infrastructure market will exceed $3.5 trillion, covering smart highways, electric corridors, integrated logistics platforms, and intermodal transport solutions.
The integration of rail networks, urban transportation, and air and maritime connectivity is enabling the creation of logistics corridors that reduce costs, improve delivery times, and minimize environmental impact. In Latin America, this intermodal vision still holds great growth potential, and Mexico is strategically positioned to lead this transformation thanks to its location, international agreements, and manufacturing capacity.
Within the country, initiatives are already emerging aimed at attracting investment in smart logistics hubs, digitizing infrastructure, and expanding public transport systems. These actions benefit not only large cities but also intermediate regions seeking to connect with new markets, facilitating trade, foreign investment, and regional development.
Additionally, the growth of e-commerce has highlighted the need to modernize the “last mile.” Companies require agile and sustainable solutions to deliver goods efficiently, creating an ideal opportunity for innovation, public-private partnerships, and technological investment.
Truly sustainable mobility cannot ignore the social component. Inclusion, accessibility, and equity are fundamental elements for building transportation systems that serve everyone. Today, over 60% of the global population lives in urban areas, and this figure is expected to reach 70% by 2050. Therefore, ensuring access to safe, efficient, and affordable transportation is a top priority.
In Europe, many cities are experimenting with flat fares, free public transportation for vulnerable populations, and technologies that allow services to adapt to the needs of older adults and people with disabilities.
Mexico has begun incorporating these initiatives through route improvement projects, the addition of electric trolleybuses, universal accessibility in stations, and the adoption of social mobility policies. At both government and corporate levels, programs are being developed to eliminate barriers to transportation for underserved communities, rural areas, and workers who need efficient connectivity.
From a business perspective, offering dignified, comfortable, and safe transportation solutions for employees, customers, and suppliers is no longer a value-added feature—it is a strategic necessity that directly impacts productivity, reputation, and regulatory compliance.
