Key Takeaways:

Evio, a new Canadian company with backing from Boeing and a partnership with Pratt & Whitney Canada, has unveiled plans for a hybrid-electric 76-to-100-passenger regional aircraft, the Evio 810, aiming for service by the early 2030s.
The Evio 810 will utilize a "strong-hybrid" architecture, allowing for both hybrid-electric and fully electric operations (for takeoffs/landings), designed to offer regional airlines reduced emissions and lower operational and maintenance costs.
The company has already secured significant market interest, signing conditional purchase agreements for 250 aircraft plus 200 options with two major airlines.
Evio's aircraft is one of the largest hybrid-electric regional concepts announced, targeting the demand for regional turboprops and jets with potential applications beyond passenger transport, including cargo and military missions.

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.
