A new electric vehicle called Olinia Carga was shown at a press conference by President Claudia Sheinbaum. This vehicle is designed for carrying goods and can hold up to 650 kilograms (1,433 pounds). Olinia Carga is part of a plan to make electric vehicles more affordable in Mexico. These vehicles are built for small businesses to transport items easily.
During the same event, Sheinbaum talked about some important issues. She mentioned the arrest of a person allegedly involved in the 2024 kidnapping of Ismael “El Mayo” Zambada, a leader of the Sinaloa Cartel. This arrest might help uncover more details about the event.
