The electric mini-truck is expected to launch by the end of 2027 and be affordable for families. Battery production presents a challenge.

According to a report by the Mexican daily newspaper La Jornada, the small truck is expected to cost 150,000 pesos (around 7,600 euros).

The new vehicle is intended to bridge the gap between motorcycles with their limited cargo capacity and conventional light commercial vehicles with higher acquisition and operating costs. Due to its dimensions, the Olinia Carga is suitable for short, low-speed routes in urban traffic.

    Not seeing the point of something does not equate to the price of butter. Or value. Or anything else. Your anecdotal usage and interaction paradigm with the world…

    Shouldn’t need to dictate, inform, or even related to why another sovereign Nation is literally investing in it to solve a problem of theirs that they have ID’ed.

    That already exists - it’s called a car. I don’t see what niche this (or the Slate truck) fills that isn’t already better served by some other vehicle.

    The little spark that made you think this piece of commentary of yours where you don’t even discuss the thing in question, but plop down a malformed absolutist view of the world instead and expect everyone to nod thoughtfully or applaud?

    That is the root of why the world hates the US, why Mexico is making a tiny electric car/motorcycle bullshit of their own instead of Ford/GM/Etc having sold them anything they, the consumer, would actually need, for their real situation.
