Tren Maya, a new experience for our visitors from all over the world not to be missed

The Tren Maya is Mexico's most important railway infrastructure, which is driving economic and tourism growth in the southeast. Its construction has the highest standards of quality, safety, comfort and world-class technology. There will be 42 trains manufactured in the country, achieving the objective of being a train built by Mexicans.

The exterior design of the cars is inspired by the Mayan culture, such as the colors and textures of regional art, and the majesty of the jaguar, an endemic animal of the southeast, beautiful, elegant and fast. Visitors can tour the destinations aboard three models.

The Tren Maya will use a combination of diesel and electric locomotives for its operation. However, the specific type of locomotives to be used may vary depending on the phase of construction and the type of service to be provided on each section.

The Tren Maya will provide both passenger and freight services. In the case of passenger services, it is anticipated that regular services will be available for local residents, as well as luxury services for tourists. Passenger trains will have modern amenities and could include features designed to enhance the tourist experience, such as restaurant cars and panoramic cars.

As for freight services, these will be vital for transporting goods throughout the region. Freight trains will help boost local and regional trade, contributing to the economic development of the Yucatan Peninsula.

How will the Tren Maya's cargo transportation work?

Although the Tren Maya project is primarily focused on passenger transportation, the cargo component is an important aspect for the local and regional economy.

The Tren Maya's freight operation is expected to function as follows:

• Transportation of local goods: the Mayan Train is expected to facilitate the transportation of locally produced goods, including agricultural and manufactured products. This could help local producers and businesses reach larger markets and increase their profitability.

• Fostering regional trade: By providing an efficient way to move goods along the Yucatan Peninsula, the Tren Maya could help stimulate trade between cities and regions along the train's route.

• Integration with other modes of transportation: The Tren Maya's freight operations are expected to integrate with other modes of transportation, including maritime and road transportation. This could enable the transportation of goods to and from the Tren Maya in an efficient manner.

• Night operation: To maximize the efficiency of the line and reduce disruptions to passenger service, it is possible that much of the freight transportation could take place at night.

• Environmental impact: Freight transport by train can be more environmentally friendly than other modes of freight transport, such as road transport. This is because trains can transport large amounts of cargo efficiently, which can result in fewer emissions per ton of cargo transported.
