2025 anti-money laundering reform: new requirements for the automotive industry

February, 2026

The reform raises due diligence, traceability and reporting requirements for vehicle manufacturers, assemblers and distributors.

Our partner Alberto Cordoba authored the Grupo T21 article “Industria automotriz bajo lupa: reforma antilavado 2025,” in which he examines the scope of the reform to Mexico’s Federal Law for the Prevention and Identification of Transactions with Illicit Funds and its implications for the automotive sector.

Alberto discusses the new due diligence, traceability and reporting requirements applicable to vehicle manufacturers, assemblers and distributors. He also highlights the importance of strengthening internal compliance systems to support effective implementation and an orderly transition to the new regulatory standard.
