Day 688 — Sheinbaum Unveils "Olinia de Carga" Electric Cargo Vehicle

On August 20, 2026 (Day 688, Thursday), President Sheinbaum unveiled "Olinia de Carga" in the Palacio Nacional courtyard — the second Olinia electric vehicle after the passenger model presented June 7, 2026. The cargo version carries up to 650 kg (up to 12 stackable huacal crates), was engineered by roughly 70 specialists based in Puebla through Mexico's public universities, and is projected to sell for about 150,000 pesos by late 2027. Production will use mixed public-private investment; a public bidding process opens in late September 2026 with formal offers due in November, targeting initial output of 10,000 units per year scaling toward 50,000 per year.
