El Corredor Interoceánico Del Tren Del Istmo De Tehuantepec, Realidades Y Potencialidades Para Su Entrada Plena A La Cadena Global De Suministros

The Isthmus of Tehuantepec Interoceanic Corridor (CIIT) project is a project conceived in economic and social justice terms to leverage not only nearshoring but also reshoring. It is a current project that seeks to connect trade from Asia (South Korea, China, Japan, Singapore) with the west and east coasts of the United States of America and Canada. The creation of 10 industrial parks, investment to revive freight and passenger trains, and the rehabilitation and creation of at least two ports in Veracruz and another two in Oaxaca will undoubtedly trigger development in this region of Mexico. This region has the potential to create sources of wind and hydroelectric energy, and to boost tourism and the manufacturing industry again, as well as warehousing services for transnational corporations that require supply links other than the Panama Canal. Given this perspective, this research aims to evaluate infrastructure, maritime-land connectivity, and rainfall conditions as elements of regional development, consolidating the strengthening of the global supply chain and combining efforts to attract foreign direct investment (FDI) to southern Mexico, which will translate into permanent employment for the local and floating population within the radius of the communication route known as the "Corredor Industrial del Istmo de Tehuantepec".On March 28, 2025, 600 cars from the Korean company Hyundai arrived to be transported through the trans-isthmian route system from the Port of Salina Cruz to Coatzacoalcos, Veracruz, to later be transferred to the East Coast of the United States of America, a case that had not happened in 100 years for Mexico.
