Pemex pipeline closures cause fuel supply fragility in Bajío industrial region
What happened
Pemex closed pipelines in Jalisco and Guanajuato, leading to tanker trucks jamming Federal Highway 45 near Irapuato, Guanajuato state, according to local officials. The closures forced fuel loading to shift to the Irapuato terminal. Officials noted that drivers are waiting for at least 12 hours on weekdays at the terminal.
