Overview
- President Claudia Sheinbaum confirmed Wednesday that Olinia’s final prototype will be unveiled on June 7 in a public event where visitors can see the vehicle up close and get inside.
- She said the federal government will seek a private company to install assembly lines for production, and the original research team will remain involved to keep improving the platform.
- Project leaders plan to open a presale after the unveiling and target the start of serial production in 2027, focusing first on a single model built for short city trips and last‑mile deliveries.
- Coordinator Roberto Capuano has guided the expected price to about 150,000 pesos, a figure that would undercut most EVs in Mexico, though some outlets still cite an earlier 90,000–150,000‑peso range.
- Full commercial use hinges on regulators creating a new “mini‑vehicle” category so the car can be registered and insured, and the public effort is being led by SECIHTI with engineering by IPN and TecNM.
