Overview

• Mexico’s economy secretary said Los Angeles authorities conveyed interest in acquiring 10,000 to 20,000 units over the next two years, a signal of demand rather than a finalized contract.
• Producers report current output of about 2,000 buses per year with plans to scale toward roughly 6,000, underscoring a significant capacity gap.
• Taruk is billed as the first electric bus with a motor designed in Mexico, using roughly 70–75% local content and carrying the Hecho en México designation.
• The project links government, industry and universities, with the drivetrain built in Mexico City, final assembly at Dina’s Hidalgo plant, and cloud connectivity for real-time monitoring.
• Pilots and early deployments are underway, including Mexico City RTP trials, 80 units planned for Ensenada, and an initial 20-bus order announced by the state of Puebla.
