MEXICO
Standard a priority of outgoing leader
continued from Page 8

She believes Mexican regulators would consider accepting the same incentives for plug-in hybrids and EVs that the United States has. But the issue is largely irrelevant, she added. “Realistically there are not going to be many plug-ins or EVs in Mexico in this time frame even if there were huge incentives for them,” she said, adding the country still lacks a sufficient charging infrastructure and commercial support. Blumberg said the companies’ most relevant concern is lead time to develop models in time for the 2014 model year and later but that AMIA has been included in the planning for more than two years. She also suggested that the automakers are “trying to run out the clock” as the current administration prepares to leave office. The standard has been a top priority of Mexico President Felipe Calderon. His six-year term ends Saturday when President-elect Enrique Pena Nieto takes office. But some officials in Calderon’s administration worry that Pena Nieto will let the standard fall to the wayside. Rojas Bracho said that Pena Nieto’s likely head of Mexico’s version of the EPA is the former president of the Association of Heavy Duty Vehicles. c Reuters contributed to this report
