AMPORTS, Mitsubishi Motors North America and Port Freeport Advance Automotive Logistics Collaboration in Texas

July 7, 2026

AMPORTS (or “the Company”), Mitsubishi Motors North America, Inc. (or “MMNA”), and Port Freeport (or “the port”) today announced a collaboration that brings additional automotive volume and integrated logistics capabilities to the Texas Gulf Coast, reinforcing the port’s role as a leading gateway for vehicle imports, exports and distribution.
