Taruk means roadrunner in the Yaqui language and is the first Mexican electric bus.

MegaFlux, a 100% Mexican company, created and developed this vehicle, as well as its electric battery. 

The bus is ideal for Mexico‘s cities, due to its design adapted to the specific conditions of the country’s urban areas. 

Taruk

With a capacity for 60 passengers, the Taruk is ready to circulate in the center of large metropolises, as well as in the outskirts and in the country’s 67 medium-sized cities.

Moreover, its local manufacture allows for a more efficient and faster service. This boosts the development of urban infrastructure and offers sustainable mobility with zero emissions.

Taruk combines technological innovation and economic efficiency. At the same time, it reinforces the commitment to the environment. Thanks to its zero-emission technology, it reduces pollution in cities. It improves air quality and reduces the impact of urban transport on climate change.

This clean mobility alternative represents a key advance towards a more sustainable and healthy future. It has also been successfully tested in the Mexico City Passenger Transport Network (RTP).

Made in Mexico

At an event held at the Ministry of Economy in Mexico City, Roberto Gottfried, director of MegaFlux, pointed out that the bus was designed and patented in Mexico. Unlike other models, it does not require adaptation of foreign versions.

During the ceremony, the Secretary of Economy, Marcelo Ebrard, presented Taruk with the official “Made in Mexico” certification. This recognition reinforces its importance as a national innovation.

On the other hand, Claudia Agatón Muñiz, Mayor of Ensenada, confirmed that her municipality will incorporate Taruk units in public transportation. With this measure, she seeks to promote electromobility and strengthen Mexican technology.

Altagracia Gómez also highlighted the strategic role of MegaFlux and Gottfried in the development of the project. She also recognized DINA’s trajectory and its alliances with international brands. Finally, Taruk was supported by key institutions such as Conacyt, UNAM and IPN.
