Zacua was founded in 2017, 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. Vehicle production began in
April 2018 at a plant located in the
Puebla 2000 Industrial Park, in the state of
Puebla. According to official reports, the plant began operations with an investment of approximately 80 million Mexican pesos. Vehicles are assembled manually, and the production team is composed primarily of women. During its initial phase, the brand used 40% domestic components, with the goal of increasing that percentage in the future. Subsequently, a component substitution process was carried out, increasing local integration to 60%. == Name and Logo ==
