T: Is for a new brand of Tonka Toys!

As gas prices hit record highs, an entrepreneur has transformed the world into an electric car phenomenon. The Xebra is a unique electric vehicle designed by a veteran company called ZAP. Rather than try to reinvent a gasoline car to be electric, ZAP designs as a simple solution for todays growing market. ZAP says its Xebra electric cars and trucks cost from 1-3 cents per mile while gasoline costs 15-20 cents per mile and the ZAP Xebra can get about 146 MPG. The California Air Resources Board estimates you can save 750 gallons of gas or $2,500 a year by driving an electric vehicle 30 miles a day. Electric vehicles also reduce automotive emissions by 90 percent. They also offer quieter operation, less maintenance, tune-ups and insurance costs. Because of its unique design, the xebra falls under a motorcycle classification and was designed for a top-speed of up to 40 MPH. As of now the Xebra will be allowed to drive with conventional traffic.











ZAP has been a leader in advanced transportation technologies since 1994, delivering over 100,000 vehicles to consumers in more than 75 countries. At the forefront of fuel-efficient transportation with new technologies including energy efficient gas systems, hydrogen, electric, fuel cell, ethanol, hybrid and other innovative power systems, ZAP has a joint venture called Detroit Electric to manufacture electric and hybrid vehicles with Youngman Automotive Group, one of China's leading manufacturers of buses and trucks. Detroit Electric is developing a freeway capable electric vehicle called the ZAP Alias in collaboration with Lotus Engineering. They are also developing a new generation of vehicles using advanced nanotech batteries. The Company recently announced a strategic partnership with Dubai-based Al Yousuf Group to expand its international vehicle distribution. Price wise they are affordable starting at $11,700.00 for the Xebra, $12,500.00-$14,950.00 for the truck version, $32,500 for the highway version and $60,000 for the ultimate experience. $100 holds your reservation for the Xebra's and $1000 the trucks as they are not expected out until fall. For those of you looking for a good investment this is a company only on the rise. To learn more go to www.zapworld.com
