In 2017, the company announced an investment of US$ 106 million, a figure that finally increased to US$ 175 million and was allocated to rolling stock, rails, infrastructure and business development.
Meanwhile, the director of Ferromex-Ferrosur Projects, Lorenzo Reyes Retana, mentioned that the company has planned a US$ 334.4 million investment this year.

"We will continue with the construction of the Celaya and Monterrey bypasses, the construction of lanes, yards, terminals in general, double tracks and other projects," the executive said in the context of the rail transport forum.
Ferrovalle announced an US$ 8.3 million investment for infrastructure, technology and information. "The priority is that our roads are able to provide services," said Erich Wetzel, director of the company.
Likewise, Ferroitsmo reported that this year it will allocate US$ 33 million for improvements in its facilities.
