Overview
- Project officials say the first two Olinia prototypes will be presented next month, with manufacturing to follow.
- Estimated pricing spans 90,000 to 150,000 pesos across three planned versions for personal use, mototaxi replacement and last‑mile deliveries.
- Authorities frame the vehicles for neighborhood and first‑/last‑mile mobility, positioning them against Chinese-made electric scooters and motorcycles that have grown sales in Mexico.
- Olinia is working with the Secretaría de Economía to define a new minivehículo category after deeming current cuatrimoto registration unsuitable for the segment.
- Competition includes the Mexican-assembled E‑WAN Cross at about 299,300 pesos with up to 300 km range, while experts stress safety standards, spare parts and after‑sales capacity as critical factors; development involves IPN, TecNM and UNAM.
