Zacua México is a brand of electric city cars based in Mexico City. It was founded in 2017[1] and is considered the first Mexican company to develop, produce, and commercialize an electric vehicle assembled entirely in the country.
Zacua operates under the corporate name Motores Limpios, S.A.P.I. de C.V.,[1] a subsidiary of the group COPEMSA (Compañía Operadora de Estacionamientos Mexicanos, S.A. de C.V.). The project was created with the aim of introducing electric vehicles into urban areas, linking automotive operations with charging infrastructure installed in parking facilities managed by the group.
History
Zacua was founded in 2017,[2] in Mexico City during an event held at the Hotel Presidente Intercontinental. During the launch, two electric models were introduced: a coupé and a hatchback, which were later named the Zacua MX2 and Zacua MX3, respectively.
For their development, the company established a collaboration with the French manufacturer Automobiles Chatenet, which provided the platform of its internal combustion model, the CH30. This base was modified to integrate an electric powertrain.
