ZAP, a leading electric transportation company that has delivered more than 100,000 vehicles to consumers in 75 countries, recently announced that the company has shipped a fleet of their Zaptruck XLs to Bexar County, San Antonio, Texas. The Zaptruck XLs is a versatile 100 percent plug-in electric LSV equipped with a Payload drop-in shell that provides a weatherproof, fully enclosed and lockable storage compartment.

Steven Schneider, chief executive officer of ZAP, stated, “We have a rapidly growing number of these vehicles in our production queue as a result of stepped up demand and purchasing activity.

Steve Schneider, ZAP’s CEO, said that the XL qualifies for the Federal tax cut in President Obama’s stimulus plan, making the XL’s net purchase price “affordable, attractive and very competitive.” The company said it has received numerous bid solicitations from city, county and state government buying authorities who are now in position to take advantage of “green” transportation initiatives.

ZAP, a leader in electric transportation delivering over 100,000 vehicles to consumers in more than 75 countries, recently unveiled an 8,000-watt wheel motor powering both rear wheels of a production ZAP electric truck. A result of more than five years of research, this latest wheel motor design is designed to improve the power and efficiency of the company’s electric vehicles (EVs).

The company’s 8,000-watt wheel motor is nearly three times more powerful than the Zapino scooter motor, with minimal increase in weight and size. Wheel motors are lighter and more compact, eliminating the need for a transmission and drive train. The company expects that this new design could go into production in various electric car and truck configurations by 2010 with necessary funding.

ZAP chief executive officer, Steve Schneider, commented, “Based on the core technology we use for the production of the Zapino model, we have been able to achieve a far
