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.
As a mexican I see this as pure propaganda. But I do hope it works because it has the potential to be a very hackable… thing.
Yes this. There’s a lot of travel going on between cities and towns. The range of these things is far too short for any meaningful work outside a very narrow set of criteria. It’s like they think there’s nothing outside of CDMX. I wanted to take my EV out to the California Peninsula but realized there’s no Level 2/3 charging infrastructure like at all. A car like this would fail to work in such a region.
Yes anyone who says “it’s larger than a motorcycle but smaller than a truck” are right but guess what? They have the range to take their cargo where it’s needed like from a town center to a field or rural area.
