It is charged by the sun and costs less than 100,000 pesos

Mexico has just joined in this affordable electric mobility. And the company TT Automotive presented the TT01 a few days agoalso named “Totally Tlaxcalteca”, a small electric and solar vehicle manufactured almost entirely in the state of Tlaxcala. The meeting was at Hacienda Soltepec, in the municipality of Huamantla, where businessmen, state and federal authorities, and representatives of the automobile sector attended. It is the pride of the region, since the project boasts that around 80% of its components are of national origin. We tell you everything in detail. Why is it important. The TT01 is proposed as one of the cheapest electric cars that can be found today in Mexico. According to the brand, its price part of the 99,000 pesos (about 5,000 euros to change) and goes up to 160,000 pesos in its most equipped versions. That entry figure places it even below Oliniathe electric car project promoted by the federal government of Claudia Sheinbaum, which has not yet reached the market. So basically the company has preempted the state initiative. Simple and without airbags. The TT01 stands out from the rest of the urban electric cars in that it uses a charging system using solar panels integrated into the roof. According to their creator, Edgar Guzmán Carreto, founder of TT Automotive, these panels generate up to 50 kilometers of autonomy after eight hours of exposure to the sun. The car can also be plugged into any conventional household outlet. The company talks about a total autonomy of up to 250 kilometers per charge, a maximum speed of 50 km/h (little, but designed especially for the city and short trips), capacity for five passengers and a body with a high-strength steel structure. The Herald of Mexico itself says that this first model incorporates very very basic security measures. And because it doesn’t have, it doesn’t even have airbags. Between the lines. In the presentation, Guzmán Carreto counted that TT Automotive was born “not only as a company, but as a declaration of principles”, with the idea of putting technology at the service of people. The approach is to have a cheap car ready, manufactured locally and aimed at families, delivery people and neighborhood transportation. The assembly is carried out in the Xiloxoxtla Industrial Park, which, according to those responsible, should generate employment and strengthen the supplier chain in the area. Pay attention to the nuances. The TT01 that was shown in Huamantla is still a prototype, and there are details that deserve our attention. On the one hand, the vehicle can also be recharged with gasoline in the event of possible unforeseen events. On the other hand, the company itself recognizes that it is still looking for investors to be able to manufacture on a large scale. Guzmán Carreto estimates that in about six months they would be able to produce in series, with an initial goal of 20 units per week and first sales through its website. It is worth remembering the history of delays of the project, since it was first announced in September 2025 with the promise of going on sale in December of the same year, and in the end it was postponed until it was officially presented a few days ago. And now what. The company also works in other variants with greater speed and pricewith versions for personal, family and distribution use, according to pv magazine. Now we need to know if TT Automotive meets the deadlines, since if so it would be ahead of Olinia’s proposal. It remains to be seen whether this type of vehicle, so special and with very basic security systems, will arouse interest in the region.

fines of up to 2,346 pesos

March 25, 2026 by usatoday24

If you drive through Querétaro and often pass in front of schools, there is one thing you should keep in mind so as not to be surprised. Exceeding 30 km/h in public school zones can result in a fine of up to 2,346 pesos and also the loss of points on the license. This is not just a general driving recommendation, but a penalty provided for in the state Traffic Law that has recently received attention again in different media. Most visible application. More than a new rule, what the sources reflect is that this penalty was already contemplated in state legislation and is now back on the table along with its consequences for drivers. So much Motorpassion as El Imparcial point out that the Traffic Law for the State of Querétaro already included this limit in its article 65. The focus on this measure is also framed in a context of concern about road accidents in urban areas where pedestrians, cyclists and motorists coincide. The specific sanction. If a driver exceeds the limit allowed in these areas, the law provides for clear economic and administrative sanctions. The fines range from 10 to 20 UMA, which is equivalent to between 1,173 and 2,346 Mexican pesos. Added to this is the reduction of between three and six points on the driver’s license. All this is supported by article 65 of the state Traffic Law, cited by sources. If you are stopped for exceeding the limit in a school zone, there is a procedure the officer must follow. Motorpasión explains that mobility officers must tell the driver to stop without affecting traffic, explain the reason for the stop and show their identification. They must also indicate which rule was violated and what the corresponding penalty is, in addition to requesting mandatory documentation for the vehicle and driver. The idea is that the infraction is applied with a clear protocol and not as an informal action. Consultation and payment. The digital front: Beyond the sanction, there is a practical aspect that should be on hand if you drive in the entity. There is a digital route within the portal of the Executive Branch of the State of Querétaro to check if you have pending violations and pay them online. The process, according to that publication, can be done by following these steps: Enter the portal of the Executive Branch of the State of Querétaro Access the section of the Secretariat of Sustainable Development Select the type of vehicle service Capture circulation card data Consult and, where appropriate, pay the violation In the end, beyond the fine or points on the license, what the sources make clear is that this type of measure aims to reduce risks in especially sensitive areas. In school areas, where there is a greater presence of pedestrians and students, the margin of error is much smaller. Therefore, rather than seeing it only as a penalty, it should be taken as a practical warning if you drive through Querétaro: adjusting the speed on these sections not only avoids a significant expense, it can also help reduce risks on the road.
