Evio Inc. made its public debut in December with the launch of its Evio 810 hybrid-electric regional aircraft, having secured conditional purchase agreements and options for 450 aircraft, targeted to enter into service by the early 2030s. Evio benefits from investment and technical support from Boeing, and the company is collaborating with Pratt & Whitney Canada to develop propulsion technology for the aircraft.

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. The Evio 810’s performance and versatility will be enabled by a highly innovative hybrid-electric propulsion architecture.

In 2023, EVIO received conditional purchase agreements for 250 of its hybrid-electric aircraft from two major airlines, with options for an additional 200 aircraft. The company has matured its “strong hybrid-electric design” – meaning the aircraft will be capable of both all-electric and hybrid-electric flight.

“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.

The company is governed by a board with significant industry experience that includes former Airbus Senior Vice President Rob Dewar, who led the development of the CSeries/A220 program; and former Lockheed Martin Executive Vice President Frank Cappuccio, who led Lockheed Martin’s Skunk Works advanced design organization and oversaw the company’s bid for the F-35.
