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