ZAP and Jonway Auto Exhibits URBEE in Los Angeles Auto Show

The URBEE is US DOT approved and is currently showing at the LA Auto Show with the objective of building its dealership network in North America and entering into the EV utility fleet market in the US.  The URBEE with its four wheel disc brakes, heating, optional air conditioning, and roof rack is ideally suited for resorts, retirement communities, campuses and enclosed properties or private development estates.  The URBEE, designed with the ruggedness of an ATV and "easy-to-drive" touch of a neighborhood electrical vehicle, has a robust chassis with strengthened suspension to give riders comfort.  It can drive over rough terrain and is excellent as a recreational vehicle, with a range of 130km to 150km between charges.

ZAP is looking to build up their dealership network in both North and South America, and will also be expanding to Europe where it is already EU L7 type approved.
