Overview
- Governor Alfonso Durazo kicked off construction at ITH’s CIISE, formally moving the Beyond Movilidad Compartida program from proposal to execution.
- The public timeline targets a show car in the first half of 2026 and a functional prototype by late 2026.
- Initial output is planned at 2,000 vehicles with a scale-up goal of up to 18,000 units per year over the following three to five years.
- BMC outlines a staged battery strategy that begins with packs using lithium cells imported from the United States and later aims for local cell manufacturing and a 70–80% regional content value.
- The venture is framed as a public–private–academic effort tied to Plan Sonora and Plan México, with ITH students participating through an Education Dual model and a vehicle concept focused on modular mobility-as-a-service use cases.
