MEXICO CITY: Ford shipped its first batch of cars from the once-neglected Guaymas port near its plant in the northern Mexican state of Sonora in a project that, if fully launched, could cut the US automaker’s logistics costs by 30%, according to the state governor.

The initial shipment of pickups and Broncos, headed for Chile, is part of a broader revamp of the Guaymas port, an infrastructure project headed by Mexico’s outgoing President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador.
