At the Latam Mobility & Net Zero: Mexico 2024<\/strong> event, Felipe Gallego<\/strong>, COO of Megaflux<\/strong>, introduced the Taruk<\/strong> project, a public transportation solution designed and manufactured in Mexico.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTaruk<\/strong> means \u2018road runner\u2019 in the Yaqui language; it\u2019s the result of a technical and strategic collaboration to create a high-efficiency electric bus<\/strong>, addressing the urgent need for sustainable transportation in our country,\u201d stated Gallego.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Public transportation is essential in Mexico<\/strong>, with approximately 50% of the population relying on these systems<\/strong>. Cities like Mexico City, Guadalajara, and Monterrey<\/strong> face serious pollution issues. “Our goal with Taruk<\/strong> is to provide a national solution that reduces environmental impact, improves air quality, and boosts the economy,” Gallego added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Taruk Project: 100% Mexican and Sustainable<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Developed with 70% of its components sourced locally<\/strong>, the Taruk<\/strong> bus is the result of a collaboration with CONACYT<\/strong> and DINA<\/strong>. It features a chassis and powertrain designed and manufactured in Mexico<\/strong>, along with a high-efficiency permanent magnet motor<\/strong> ideal for reducing energy consumption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The benefits of local manufacturing are substantial: for every 100 pesos invested in buses produced in Mexico, the economic impact is 8 times greater compared to an imported bus<\/strong>. Additionally, producing these vehicles can create up to 25 jobs for every two units manufactured<\/strong>, compared to just 3 jobs when imported<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Megaflux<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Megaflux<\/strong> was founded in 2013<\/strong> as an offshoot of Potencia Industrial<\/strong>, a Mexican company with over 80 years of experience in capital technology<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSince then, we\u2019ve implemented innovative solutions, such as the conversion of electric taxis in 2016<\/strong>, with outstanding results. The taxis converted nearly a decade ago are still operating, with over 3 million electric kilometers traveled by this fleet<\/strong>,\u201d noted Gallego.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Features<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Taruk<\/strong> bus is designed to meet a variety of needs. Its compact size of 9.5 meters<\/strong> makes it perfect for areas with limited space. Additionally, single-step access<\/strong> and available space for passengers with disabilities enhance its universal accessibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBattery configurations vary<\/strong>, with an option of 179 kWh<\/strong> for lower-demand routes and 282 kWh<\/strong> for longer trips, ensuring flexibility and efficiency,\u201d continued Gallego.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn collaboration with the Autonomous Metropolitan University (UAM) of Iztapalapa, Ciatecu, and UNAM<\/strong>, we have made progress in battery validation, thermal characterization, and field testing<\/strong> to guarantee optimal and safe performance of the bus,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
