Back in May, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum told reporters that the auto industry was recovering from Trump's tariffs — and then dropped a teaser: "Good news is coming soon." On Sunday, that news finally arrived on four wheels.
Sheinbaum presented Olinia 1, the first 100% electric vehicle developed and designed entirely in Mexico, during a public event in Zumpango, State of Mexico — driving the prototype herself onto the stage. The timing wasn't coincidental. The unveiling came just days before the opening of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, a moment Mexico has been building toward as proof of its global ambitions.
