Overview
- President Claudia Sheinbaum said Wednesday that Olinia’s prototype will debut June 7 and visitors will be able to get inside the vehicle.
- Sheinbaum said officials will start the production phase after the event by seeking a public–private deal to set up assembly lines.
- Olinia director Roberto Capuano will first present the prototype at Mexico’s National Palace in the coming weeks.
- Capuano has estimated a price near 150,000 pesos, signaling a push to undercut current entry-level EVs and many low-cost gasoline cars for short city trips.
- Officials plan a presale after the unveiling and are targeting 2027 to start manufacturing if they secure the right partner.
