Minister of Economy, María Luisa Hayem and Executive Secretary Salvador Handal participated in the launching of Quantum, a Latin American electric car manufacturer, which will invest US$2.5 million to install a factory in El Salvador that will generate more than 390 jobs.

Manuel Díaz, director of Quantum Motors El Salvador, said that the use of these electric cars will reduce the population's transportation costs by 80%. In addition, we plan to export.

The increase in the bill with these cars is US$5 and users only have to connect it to a conventional electric power source.

Carlos Vargas, manager of Quantum Mexico, stated that it is necessary to bring electromobility to the population to reduce environmental impacts and offer more accessible alternatives. He said that their goal is to install assembly plants to cover the region and Mexico.

The official indicated that in addition to making available to salvadorans this new alternative of urban ecological vehicles for transportation and work, a great opportunity for an innovative investment for the country is opened.

She said that by opening its sales room and a new electric car factory in the country, Quantum will be able to grow and create new opportunities for national suppliers and jobs for salvadorans.
