YCP in Numbers
Key Challenges We Address
Nearshoring momentum tests supplier capacity and localization
- Mexico built 3.99 million light vehicles in 2024 and exported 3.48 million, increasing pressure on local suppliers to scale capacity, quality, and delivery reliability.
- YCP maps supply-chain gaps, assesses supplier readiness, and designs localization roadmaps that balance cost, resilience, and production ramp-up requirements.
Trade-rule shifts reshape North American sourcing decisions
- USMCA requires 75% regional value content for vehicles and core parts, while 40–45% labor value content rules make origin compliance central to sourcing decisions.
- YCP translates trade requirements into practical sourcing scenarios, helping teams optimize bills of materials, supplier footprints, and compliance governance.
Electrification outpaces charging and market readiness
- Mexico sold more than 124,000 electrified light vehicles in 2024, yet charging coverage, affordability, and consumer confidence remain uneven across the market.
- YCP connects market demand, charging economics, and partner strategy to help OEMs, retailers, and mobility players prioritize viable electrification opportunities.
Skills and cross-border execution strain plant performance
- Mexico’s auto-parts sector employs over 1 million people, but demand for EV, software, automation, and quality talent is rising alongside complex cross-border operations.
- YCP supports operating-model redesign, workforce planning, and performance programs that strengthen plant productivity and cross-border execution discipline.
