Mota-Engil has secured major transportation infrastructure contracts in Mexico. In late September 2026, Mota-Engil México was awarded a contract for the comprehensive renovation of Mexico City Metro Line 3. This project, valued at 25,180.4 million pesos for availability and operation, involves replacing tracks, modernizing electrical and signaling systems, and incorporating 45 new trains. Major construction for the Metro project is slated to begin in 2027.

Following this, in early October 2026, a Mota Engil-led consortium won a 22.4 billion peso contract to design and construct a 68-kilometer section of the Querétaro-Saltillo passenger train. This specific segment connects Querétaro and San Miguel de Allende and is designed to support speeds of up to 177 kilometers per hour. Construction for the rail project is scheduled to commence on October 17, 2026.
