President Claudia Sheinbaum unveiled the second prototype of Mexico's electric cargo vehicle, Olinia Carga, during her morning press conference, 11 weeks after introducing the first prototype, Olinia 1. Olinia Carga, a light-cargo vehicle, can carry up to 650 kg and has a range of over 120 km. The vehicle is designed for work, with a capacity to hold 12 wooden crates stacked on multiple levels.
The Olinia project aims to produce affordable electric vehicles locally, offering a more compact and cost-effective alternative to current options in the Mexican market. Sheinbaum announced that Olinia 1 will be available in the summer of 2027, while Olinia Carga will be on sale in late 2027, priced at around 150,000 pesos (approximately $8,800).
Additionally, Sheinbaum reported on a recent arrest in connection with the 2024 kidnapping of Sinaloa Cartel kingpin Ismael "El Mayo" Zambada, and updated on the extradition of a Mexican Navy officer detained in Argentina for a fuel smuggling/tax evasion scheme.
