Company shipped a fleet of Zaptruck XLs/ Payload drop-in shell
Electric vehicle manufacturer ZAP has shipped a fleet of its Zaptruck XLs, a versatile 100% plug-in electric LSV, equipped with a Payload drop-in shell to Bexar County, San Antonio, Texas.
The vehicles would be used by a variety of county departments as they expand their "green initiative." Each truck is equipped with one of ZAP's newest options -- the versatile Payload shell providing a weatherproof, fully enclosed and lockable storage compartment, said ZAP.
Steven Schneider, CEO, ZAP, said: "We have a rapidly growing number of these vehicles in our production queue as a result of stepped up demand and purchasing activity. Both corporate and government fleet buyers have been given mandates to implement change and, fortunately, we've been the beneficiary of that new direction."
"The XL truck is attractive because it's priced right, it has a variety of battery power levels and our new Payload shells can be equipped with full-length lift up doors with tinted windows, discrete tool bins, space-saving roll-up doors and a top-mounted utility rack," he added.
ZAP plans to expand its domestic manufacturing capability for 100% plug-in electric vehicles through Zap Motors Manufacturing in Kentucky, said the company.
ZAP manufactures a line of electric vehicles, including electric city-cars and trucks, motorcycles, scooters, and ATVs.
