Key Takeaways:

Evio, a new Canadian company backed by Boeing and partnered with Pratt & Whitney Canada, has publicly debuted its plans for a 76-to-100-passenger hybrid-electric regional aircraft (Evio 810) targeting service by the early 2030s.
The Evio 810 will feature a "strong-hybrid" architecture, enabling all-electric takeoffs/landings and hybrid power for longer missions, designed to reduce emissions and operational/maintenance costs for regional operators.
Evio has already secured significant market interest, having signed conditional purchase agreements for 250 aircraft and an additional 200 options with "major airlines" in 2023.

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.
