Key Takeaways:

Evio, a new Canadian company backed by Boeing and partnered with Pratt & Whitney Canada, has unveiled plans for a hybrid-electric, 76-to-100-passenger regional aircraft, targeting service by the early 2030s.
The company's Evio 810 will feature a "strong-hybrid architecture" enabling both fully electric takeoffs/landings and hybrid power for longer missions, aiming to reduce emissions and operational costs for regional airlines.
Evio has already secured conditional purchase agreements for 250 aircraft and an additional 200 options from two major airlines, though customers have not yet been revealed.
With a focus on increasing profitability and providing an exceptional passenger experience, Evio projects its aircraft will be optimal for the vast market of regional flights under 500 nm, with potential for cargo and military applications.

There’s a new player threatening to shake up regional aviation.

Thursday marked the public debut of Canada’s Evio—the developer of a clean-sheet, hybrid-electric, 76-to-100-passenger aircraft that it anticipates will enter service by the early 2030s. The company, which began exploring the hybrid concept in 2019, is bolstered by an undisclosed investment and “technical support” from Boeing.
