7 SERVICES INFRASTRUCTURE
Aguascalientes has an enviable geographical location which allows access to the main ports,
borders and cities in the Country. It´s located in the center of the “economic triangle” formed by
the cities of Guadalajara, Mexico and Monterrey, where more than 55% of the Country’s GDP is
generated. An extensive network of modern highways (2,325 km – 1,400 miles) is complemented
by an International Airport, strategic Free-Trade Zone and the two largest rail cargo-hubs in
Mexico. Thus Aguascalientes is able to guarantee efficient transportation of goods and services
throughout the country and the Americas.
As mentioned above, land communications include two main rail and highways that intersect in
the City of Aguascalientes, allowing efficient connections to the North with Tampico, Nuevo
Laredo, the USA and Canada, and to the South with Mexico City and Central America. The
Logistics Corridors: Manzanillo – Aguascalientes – Altamira; and Mexico City – Aguascalientes –
Juarez play a very important role in the transportation of goods to and from Europe and Asia.
Also worthy of note is the reliability of electricity supply in Aguascalientes, made possible by a
triple redundancy power ring, providing a stable and uninterrupted power feed. Likewise, there is
a secured Natural Gas supply, through the main pipeline network crossing the State from North
to South.
Please bear in mind that services in industrial parks (water, electricity, natural gas) are all
provided by individual utility companies and it is important that you contact each one of
them directly regarding your particular needs.
