Overview
- The government, which showed the first video during Wednesday’s presidential briefing, confirmed a working prototype and a June 7 presentation tied to the 2026 World Cup opening.
- Olinia is a compact, 100% electric city vehicle with a 50 km/h top speed and home-outlet charging to keep running costs low.
- A cargo version is slated for July, with industrial build-out steps planned for August–September and mass production targeted for 2027 in Puebla.
- Initial output targets start at 20,000 units per year and rise toward 50,000 as factories, suppliers and safety validations scale up.
- Officials say Olinia does not fit current auto or motorcycle rules, so a new Mexican standard is needed before licensing, while universities and public research centers drive the project toward a national brand.
