SANTA ROSA, Calif.,
Oct. 19, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- ZAP (ZAAP), an Electric
Vehicle (EV) automotive company incorporated in California Bay
Area, and its subsidiary Jonway Auto received accolades from China
Vice Premier Ma Kai on its E-380
SUV, which is the countries' first type approved and fully
certified EV SUV. Prior to China's National holiday on September
25th, Jonway Auto in partnership with Tianjin Lishen Battery
Company exhibited Jonway Auto's SUV in Tianjin for China's Vice Premier Ma Kai. Vice Premier Ma Kai was appointed as the Vice Premier of
China's State Council at the sixth
plenary meeting of the first session of the 12th National People's
Congress (NPC) March 16, 2013. He is
a member of the 18th CPC central committee politburo,
and is the Director of the State Council Leading Group for
Promoting Medium and Small Enterprises, and the President of the
Chinese Committee of Governance, and Vice Premier of the State
Council and the country's State Councilor.
The event hosted by Tianjin Lishen Battery Company was focused
specifically on China's promotion
and support of the electric vehicle market expansion, and to place
priority on the development and adoption of EVs in China.
Vice Premier Ma Kai gave clear and
firm support for China's
commitment to the EV market and the commitment to support continued
development of advanced technologies for new and improved batteries
and electric power train technologies. This special
visitation event by Vice Premier Ma
Kai highlights the recognition of ZAP and Jonway Auto's SUV
EV, and emphasizes ZAP's strategic partnership with Tianjin Lishan
Battery Company, and showcases the quality of ZAP's EV product and
technology with its E-380 SUV which is seen by its Chinese partners
as one of the higher quality EVs in China.
With ZAP's focus on supporting Chinese government EV fleets, the
visibility and recognition by the Chinese government for ZAP's SUV
and minivan EV and its partnership with large state owned
enterprises like Lishen Battery Company are important in laying the
framework for endorsement by the local government to adopt the EV
for its fleet use.
