21,April,2010 By Alina Dumitrache

We have displayed our all-electric ZAP Taxi as well as innovative all-electric Alias prototype sports car at the Beijing Motor Show. ZAP Hangzhou, a joint venture between ZAP and Zhejiang Jonway Automobile, aims to bring these new all-electric vehicles to the Chinese market.

"ZAP is gearing up to meet the need in the China marketplace for high-quality, environmentally friendly vehicles," said Steve Schneider, ZAP CEO. "Importantly, as these vehicles are 100% electric, they emit zero pollutants and are very economical to operate when compared to a traditional gasoline powered vehicle."

Pilot production of the our Taxi is already underway. The vehicles will be initially aimed at the Asian market, such as taxi fleets, as well as intra-campus transportation for large corporate, government, military and university campuses.
