By strengthening the rolling stock product portfolio in the American region, we reaffirm our commitment to customers and we are very happy that the teams involved worked relentlessly to close this deal despite the pandemic-induced challenges. We would also like to take this opportunity to warmly welcome the team at Huehuetoca into Motherson family.
