StockGuruProfile Zap See Zap World.Zap has been supporting the economics of green since their inception. ZAP stands for ZERO AIR POLLUTION.The XEBRA line of electric cars and trucks incorporates a new battery management system. Zap is deeply involved in ongoing research and development for a new generation of electric vehicles incorporating advanced technologies. Their battery management system utilizes innovations in computerized microprocessors and intelligent chargers required to control the charging and discharging of large format lithium-ion batteries. The system helps maximize the efficiency and performance of lithium-ion batteries, delivering as much as five times the range over the lead-acid batteries currently used in a wide variety of electric vehicles. This week ten companies, including industrial giants that make everything from bulldozers to chemicals to electricity, joined environmental groups in calling for a federal law to “slow, stop and reverse the growth” of global-warming emissions “over the shortest period of time reasonably achievable.” President Bush delivered a State of the Union address in which he encouraged production of low-emission alternative fuels. reduced dependence on oil and to back alternative energy sources in the U.S. Bush proposed reducing gasoline consumption in the U.S. by 20 percent during the next 10 years through tougher fuel economy standards and mandatory production of more ethanol and other alternative fuels.
ZAP says where have you been? We’ve been here for years. ZAP announced recently that a feasibility study is being carried out in its joint development of new electric car designs with Lotus Engineering. Function and Form Unite
ZAP understands that green must still mean attractive.
ZAP and Lotus Engineering, one of the world’s leading automotive design consultancies, have announced plans to evaluate engineering concept studies for a number of electric vehicles.
The feasibility study is a comprehensive research project into the creation of a new generation of ultra-efficient electric automobiles from concept to production.
The study, with input from Lotus Engineering’s technical centers in Hethel, UK, Ann Arbor, Michigan and Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, will look at a variety of critical success factors. These cover several technical issues including the integration of major components, new motor designs, controllers, batteries and charging systems. Marketing considerations such as styling, performance, and features will be studied, as well as manufacturing process engineering, project timing and costs.

Toyota not only makes more profit than any other automaker but also enjoys the best reputation for producing clean-running, fuel-efficient vehicles. Its gas-electric hybrid Prius is a public relations juggernaut and the centerpiece of a lineup with an average fuel efficiency of 28.9 miles per gallon, second only to Honda’s fleet average. General Motors Corp. and Ford Motor Co., which sell more pickup trucks and SUVs than Toyota, lag behind in fuel economy, with averages of 24.6 and 24.1 mpg, respectively, for their fleets. As Toyota prepares to motor past Ford as the world’s second-largest carmaker, it has become a textbook case on how a green reputation delivers a competitive edge. In the five years since the Prius’ U.S. debut, Toyota’s brand value has surged by 47%, to $28 billion, according to Interbrand. In the same period, Ford has been beset with numerous troubles, including a failure to meet its goals for SUV mileage gains or to exploit its well-regarded Escape hybrid. Its brand value fell 70%, to $11 billion. How did Detroit blow it? More than anything, through inertia. For 20 years, GM and Ford earned outsize profits on supersize trucks and SUVs. And following the infamous failure of GM’s EV1 electric car, a high-tech, high-cost econo-box seemed like anything but a good bet. Detroit simply didn’t see the potential for Toyota’s odd little electric-gas car when the Prius made its debut in Japan 10 years ago. When energy prices spiked, Toyota was ready with a high-tech offering that many consumers embraced. Today, even if hybrids aren’t exactly cost-effective, consumers keep buying them. From a few thousand sold in the U.S. in 2000, Toyota expects to move 250,000 hybrids next year. “We didn’t appreciate the image value of hybrids,” concedes GM’s research and development chief, Larry Burns. “We missed that.” There’s an ironic side to all this. In the U.S., GM sells more models that get more than 30 mpg than any other carmaker. And two Ford SUVs, the Expedition and Explorer, go farther on a gallon of gas than do Toyota’s like-size models. “Toyota’s fame for hybrids allows consumers to believe every one of its vehicles is the most fuel-efficient in its category–even if it isn’t,” says marketing consultant Dan Gorrell. Now, GM has announced a plug-in Saturn hybrid and an advanced plug-in electric Chevy car. Both come ahead of any similar moves from Toyota. But GM has also set and missed such goals in the past. The value of green, it seems, only accrues when the rubber meets the road. Document BW00000020070125e31t0000x
