EVIO has launched the EVIO 810 hybrid-electric regional aircraft, having secured conditional purchase agreements and options for 450 aircraft, The aircraft is targeted for entry into service by the early 2030s.
EVIO benefits from investment and technical support from Boeing. The company is collaborating with Pratt & Whitney Canada to develop propulsion technology for the aircraft. The aircraft will be capable of both all-electric and hybrid-electric flight.
EVIO has been developing its clean-sheet design for several years, targeting the 50- to 100-seat market with a new level of efficiency and lower emissions, as well as offering unique cargo and defense capabilities. In 2023, the company received conditional purchase agreements for 250 of its hybrid-electric aircraft from two major airlines, with options for an additional 200 aircraft.
“From day one, our focus has been on increasing profitability for regional operators and providing an exceptional passenger experience,” said Michael Derman, CEO of EVIO. “We’ve recognized early on that a strong-hybrid architecture can provide unmatched efficiencies for airlines, helping them sustain vibrant regional networks in a cost-effective, responsible way.”
“This collaboration is an exciting opportunity to advance the potential of novel hybrid-electric aircraft architectures,” said Scott McElvaine, vice president, Sales & Marketing, Pratt & Whitney Canada. “We will leverage the proven performance and unmatched reliability of the PT6E engine, as well as our decades of experience in propulsion technology innovation and systems integration, to unlock new possibilities for aircraft fuel efficiency and mission versatility.”
“EVIO’s new hybrid-electric aircraft development and partnership with Canadian industry is an example of the promising innovation in the country’s aerospace sector,” said Boeing Canada President Al Meinzinger. “We look forward to continuing our collaboration with EVIO as they advance this technology to deliver more energy-efficient regional air travel."
