CNN Picks ZAP Among Top 'Green' Gifts
SANTA ROSA, Calif., Dec. 23 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- CNN last week reported
that 'Green' gifts were a holiday favorite for 2004 and named transportation
pioneer ZAP (OTC:ZAPZ) (BULLETIN BOARD: ZAPZ) in an online buyer's guide
alongside such well-known companies as Honda, Toyota, Ford and Lexus.
CNN's December 17 article talks about the popular 2005 model hybrid
automobiles, but adds: "There are smaller pollution-free choices for quick
in-town trips. The Zappy Smart Cars and Electric Scooters provide a quiet,
comfortable, clean-commute option." CNN provided a link to the ZAP website,
http://www.zapworld.com/ . To view the article, visit ZAP's website under ZAP
News.
Officials from ZAP say that its website has been receiving a record number of
visits in the past several weeks based on interest in the SMART Car
Americanized by ZAP, record gas prices, as well as a general increase in demand
for fuel-efficient transportation. ZAP has a variety of fuel-efficient
vehicles, from electric bicycles, scooters, off-road vehicles, to
full-performance automobiles powered by gasoline and electricity.
In November, ZAP announced that the fuel-efficient SMART Car has been approved
by the U.S. Department of Transportation and Environmental Protection Agency,
clearing the way for ZAP to start organizing U.S. distribution. ZAP unveiled
the microcar at the San Francisco International Auto Show over Thanksgiving and
plans to start delivering the cars in 2005.
There might not be enough time to order ZAP gifts online or via mail order, but
ZAP says its company-owned "Santa's ZAP! Workshop" in downtown Santa Rosa still
has ZAP bikes, scooters and cars in stock. ZAP is featuring two new electric
scooters for the holidays, the ZAPPY3(R) 3-wheeled electric scooter as well as
the ZAPPY(R) Xpress, an improved version of its older scooters that includes a
seat.
A ten year old public company, ZAP made a name for itself in the 90's as one of
the first companies to start selling electric scooters, including its famous
ZAPPY(R) folding electric scooter. ZAP has leveraged the popularity of
electric transportation to expand its business plan to include automobiles with
the goal of starting a new car company that caters to socially responsible
car-buyers.
