ZAP – Zero Air Pollution®

ZAP was founded on September 23, 1994 to pioneer cost-effective electric and other modes of alternative transportation. ZAP's bold marketing campaign for its innovative electric bicycles and scooters helped revolutionize the industry over the next decade with nearly 100,000 customers in 75 countries. ZAP is the only recognized brand name in electric transportation and has been acknowledged as an industry leader by Time Magazine, The Wall Street Journal, Industry Week, and Advertising Age Magazine. ZAP intends to continue this tradition by providing viable, cost-effective, and dynamic contributions to solving the world's energy problems.

Today, ZAP is poised to enter a new phase of its development by introducing the first of its new ZAPCARS and rolling out its automotive distribution portal. ZAP is moving forward with an aggressive campaign to stay at the forefront with new technologies, including fossil-fueled drive trains, hydrogen, electric and other innovative power systems. ZAP is also investing in progressive energy solutions, utilizing advanced batteries, and innovative fuel cell designs. Technology is evolving more rapidly than many expect, and hence the opportunities that meet ZAP's mission. ZAP's strategy is to partner with manufacturers both foreign and domestic who understand this as well and whose products offer environmental, economic, and technological advantages over the products currently available in the US market. As a magnet for innovation, ZAP believes that the company is well positioned to take advantage of the sea of change expected to occur over the next few years.

ZAP has structured its business activities in two parts: automotive portal and consumer products. The automotive portal will focus on building upon its independent distribution network by offering a line of electric and alternative fuel-efficient vehicles. Consumer products focus similarly on targeting new markets that advocate the use of advanced forms of transportation like those offered by ZAP. While we continue to expand our line of battery powered vehicles, scooters, off-road vehicles, mopeds and more, we have entered into the energy and electronics market with innovative battery technology.

ZAP's long-term goal is to represent four to five best of class manufacturers, presenting a complete line of products that cater to everyday use by consumers.
