Bombardier Transportation México is a subsidiary company of Bombardier Transportation located in Ciudad Sahagún, Mexico.

Formed in 1952 (some sources say 1954), with the name Constructora Nacional de Carros de Ferrocarril SA (English: National Railway Car Manufacturing Company), known as Concarril, or less commonly as CNCF, was a government-owned major rail vehicle manufacturer. From the 1950s through 1991, it manufactured a wide variety of passenger and freight cars, as well as locomotives. It was owned by the Mexican government. After accumulating too much debt, it ceased operating in December 1991 and was sold to Bombardier Transportation in April 1992 for around US$68 million. At that time, it was the largest manufacturer of railway rolling stock in Mexico. Becoming a subsidiary of Bombardier, it took the name Bombardier-Concarril SA de CV, and production resumed at the Ciudad Sahagún facilities. In 2004, the company was renamed Bombardier Transportation México.
