[niumpica]

ZAP (AMEX Kürzel: ZP) hat sich in den letzten 3 Tagen mal glatt verdoppelt. Die Aktie hatte eigentlich das gesamte Jahr immer mal wieder fetteste Hypes kam aber während der schwachen Sommermonate etwas zurück. Machen irgedwas mit ethanol Autos. Anbei ein Link der etwas mehr über die Firma und deren "Seifenkisten" erzählt.

ganz witzig dabei dieses Bild

ZAP's goofy take on the gas pedal. These are flip-flops. The cars will have flip-flop pedals when released in the U.S. too, Schneider said.

Firma hat im Moment eine Marketcap von 50 Mio :-)


dies soll keine Kaufempfehlung sein, wollte nur das Bild mit den Flipflops hervorheben. Klar kann die Aktie einen Höhenflug bekommen
wer genügend Fantasie hat

im übrigen ist in Deutschland das Autofahren mit Flipflops glaub ich gar nicht erlaubt

Hier mal die Ausenansicht eines Zapcar!


Vom CEO gibts auch ein Bild

Ziemlich breite Produktpallette!
Electric scooters and motorcycles are on display at ZAP's headquarters. ZAP started out with electric bikes in the 1990s, but a lot of companies in China and Taiwan produced counterfeit knockoffs, which hurt the business. Schneider doesn't expect counterfeit models of the company's electric cars; it takes too much engineering, he said.


Die Fa. gefällt mir sofort, ob daraus allerdings was wird???

ZAP to Unveil New Vehicle August 24


Sales for XEBRA Electric Car and Other ZAP Micro-Cars Soar in 2nd Quarter

SANTA ROSA, Calif.--Aug. 17, 2006--Automotive pioneer ZAP (NYSE Arca:ZP) will introduce a new vehicle on August 24th as the next milestone in its business plan of creating a brand and distribution network for advanced fueled micro-cars, a market the Company says has driven sales up 376 percent this past quarter on rising oil prices.

ZAP CEO Steve Schneider said that the Company is still planning out the details of the announcement, but hinted that the new ZAPCAR(TM) would be designed to open markets previously untapped in the auto industry.

Schneider noted this week that ZAP revenues for the first six months of 2006 have surpassed revenues for all of 2005. Second quarter revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2006 were $4.4 million compared to $923,000, an increase of $3.4 million or 376 percent for the same period a year ago. ZAP's quarterly results were filed earlier this week. For more information, visit http://www.zapworld.com.

weiss einer was ZAP so an einem verkauften Obvio verdient?
(sind doch nur die "Vermarkter" den Löwenanteil müsste,sollten sich die Autos durchsetzten, doch http://www.obvio.ind.br/ verdienen,oder?)
Grüsse B.

[toller]

hat das mal jemand mit Phönix Motorcars und Altair (batterielieferant dafür) verglichen? Wäre interessant, was sich auf dem Markt noch so alles ergibt. Scheinbar hat die Bush ankündigung der 20% gasoline-consumption reduction auf den ZAAP Kurs eher gewirkt als auf den von Alti.

Electric Car Dealer Opens in Alameda, California for ZAP (OTCBB: ZAAP)



ZAP (OTCBB: ZAAP)

Lung Doctor Convinces His Auto Dealer to Sell Electric Cars

ALAMEDA, CA--(MARKET WIRE)--Feb 9, 2007 -- Once you drive an electric car, you never forget it. That's why Steve Lowery, M.D., a pulmonary physician in Alameda, California convinced his local Volvo dealer to start selling a new electric car from ZAP (OTC BB:ZAAP.OB - News).

Lowery was one of the hundreds of Californians who leased electric cars from major automakers over the past several years, but were forced to return them after the lease was over, as described in the recent documentary "Who Killed the Electric Car." The cars were destroyed or shipped overseas, despite many customers expressing an interest in buying the vehicles. For years Lowery waited for a replacement, when along came the new XEBRA (pronounced 'zebra') electric car and truck from Bay Area electric vehicle pioneer ZAP (http://www.zapworld.com).

"As a lung doctor, I see too much asthma, chronic bronchitis and cancer. We need to find more ways to reduce air pollution and I believe electric cars are an important way to do that," he said.

So important that Lowery convinced his local auto dealer Mike O'Connell to come up for a dealer training at ZAP in Santa Rosa, California. Lowery's wife is a customer of O'Connell Volvo in Alameda (http://www.oconnellev.com) where they bring it regularly for maintenance. Lowery believed so much in the business opportunity, he has partnered with O'Connell in starting the new electric car dealership.

"Volvo's are safe and efficient, but they still use gas," said Mike O'Connell, an auto dealer since 1963. "I decided to do this when I looked down in the engine compartment of the ZAP and didn't get a face full of smoke, I knew electric cars are the wave of the future." O'Connell says he could sell all the cars he can get even though he has not held his Grand Opening, this Saturday from 10am to 4pm.

ZAP calls the XEBRA a 'city-car,' an all-electric design for city-speed driving up to 40 MPH. The XEBRA comes in a 4-door sedan or pickup truck with a convertible dump/flat bed. It plugs into a 110volt outlet for a full charge in up to six hours and a 50 percent charge in 1.5 hours. Range varies up to 40 miles per charge, depending on charging, speed, driving conditions and other factors. Fueling is estimated to cost 1-3 cents per mile while maintenance costs one-third that of gas due to the reduction of moving parts, less wear and replacements. ZAP says the XEBRA was designed to appeal to environmentalists and is even available with zebra-stripes.

The Environmental Protection Agency says air toxins emitted from cars and trucks account for half of all cancers caused by air pollution. Studies by the State of California, The Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) and The Union of Concerned Scientists say that electric cars reduce automotive emissions by more than 90 percent, even including the emissions from power plants. California estimates that transportation makes up 61 percent of air pollution. EPRI estimates that millions of electric cars could be charged at night using off-peak electricity generated by power plants.

O'Connell Electric Vehicles is holding its Grand Opening Saturday, February 10, from 10am to 4pm at O'Connell EV (Ford), 1537 Webster Street, Alameda, California, 95401. For directions and information, call 510-865-7255 or visit http://www.oconnellev.com.

Electric Car Pioneer ZAP Prepares to Move to Next Level with Lotus Engineering
Monday April 30, 3:16 pm ET
Lotus Engineering Management Visits ZAP Headquarters in Santa Rosa, California


SANTA ROSA, Calif., April 30 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Alternative transportation pioneer ZAP (OTC Bulletin Board: ZAAP - News) held automotive talks over the weekend at its headquarters in Santa Rosa with the management team of Lotus Engineering, including CEO Albert Lam, Project Manager Steven Woolley, and West Coast Operations Manager Rexford Park.
Lotus Engineering came to Santa Rosa to explore the next steps in the development of a new generation of electric vehicles with ZAP. The team of ZAP and Lotus Engineering has targeted new technologies and technology suppliers with the goal to create the most advanced electric cars in history. Representatives from these other companies were invited to the meeting and ZAP CEO Steve Schneider expects to announce more developments soon.

"This was an important meeting because ZAP and Lotus Engineering are working to bring new technologies to bear that could change the auto industry forever," said Schneider. "With Lotus Engineering's capabilities, and ZAP's vision and entrepreneurship, we are building a world-class team to tackle this important endeavor."

Lotus Engineering has been behind the design and construction of some of the most successful cars in history and is one of the world's premier automotive consultancies with engineering centers in Asia, North America and Europe. CEO Albert Lam said the venture with ZAP is a "fantastic" opportunity for Lotus Engineering to be a leader for green automotive technologies.

"The venture with ZAP is a dream come true because we are creating the most advanced electric vehicles in history," said Lam. "Lotus Engineering is very happy to be associated with ZAP in bringing this vehicle to market. The technology is ready for electric vehicles so they don't have to be slow, they can have a long range, and they can be exciting to look at."

ZAP automotive dealers, who were in Santa Rosa on Friday for electric car service training, received an exclusive presentation from Lotus Engineering on ZAP's future projects. Lotus Engineering also toured ZAP's manufacturing and distribution facilities for the XEBRA electric car and truck.

Earlier this year, ZAP and Lotus Engineering entered into a feasibility study to explore the development of innovative electric vehicle designs, including a crossover electric SUV called ZAP-X, based on Lotus Engineering's award-winning APX aluminum chassis technology. In the past few months, officials from ZAP and Lotus Engineering have held meetings in Norwich, England and Santa Rosa, California, "to take the venture to the next level," said Schneider.
