Zacua electric vehicle from Mexico was unveiled in July 2017. The
Mexican company Motores Limpios, S.A.P.I. de C.V. produced the Zacua
electric vehicle in partnership with Spanish, French and Chinese companies.
The French company Automobiles Chatenet designed the two models, the M2
and M3. Spanish company Dynamik Technological Alliance developed the
drivetrain while the battery is from China. The Zacua brand is named after the name of a bird species found from Mexico to Panama.

2019. Assembly of the Zacua M2 and M3 will be in Mexico State and move
to Puebla in 2019. The production of the Zacua generated 30 early stage
jobs while no indication of the initial or total required investment was

Pricing for the base model starts at $24,500 / 440,000 pesos and
