The Querétaro Intermodal Terminal is a state-of-the-art logistics complex located in the heart of Mexico, serving as a vital link in the North American supply chain. Situated in the state of Querétaro, it functions as a premier 'dry port,' offering full on-site customs clearance to streamline international trade. The terminal's strategic location adjacent to Highway 57, the primary NAFTA corridor connecting Mexico City to the U.S. border, makes it an indispensable asset for transcontinental shipping. It facilitates the efficient transfer of containers between road and rail, serving as a major hub for Kansas City Southern de México (KCSM) trains.

The facility represents the pinnacle of modern logistics engineering, driving economic growth and industrial connectivity in the Bajío region.
