Zap-x Electric Car

On February 2, 2007 in a marriage matched apparently well, the electric pioneer of car ZAP chose the design of the platform of the technology of lotus and the structure of body as bases for the development of electric high efficiency ZAP-X. The car is based on the advanced car of concept of APX (aluminium crossing of execution) and will be shown for the first time at the North-American exposure of association of retailers (NADA) what opens tomorrow (February 3). A combination of light aluminium architecture of vehicle, of a new effective order and advanced management systems of battery is designed to allow a range of up to 350 miles between the expenses, with one minute of the rapid 10 reloading time. Auxiliary generator of edge is designed to support moreover long voyages of distance. The good news for enthusiasts of sports is the courtesy of execution of a killer power-with the report/ratio of weight. - four electrical motors of in-hub, deliver 161 BHP the part, which are added together for 644 powers in horses in all the mode of drive of wheel, and able to actuate the ZAP-X at an high speed of 155mph.
Steve Schneider, President of ZAP, said: The technology of lotus 'the vehicle of demonstrator of technology of S APX is a perfect adjustment so that our plans present a full booklet of product of the electric cars. Because of the initial design by Lotus, our cost and time of the production will be appreciably reduced. We believe that the ZAP-X will become most advanced, of electric vehicle of most practical flagship and the majority most attractive up to now and will revolutionize industry providing to the driver the pleasure of a sport scar and the practical character of a SUV.
Mike Kimberley, President of PLC of lotus of group, said: the APX of the technology of lotus is an innovating concept world-class and was developed to present true solutions to new challenges facing motorized industry. Thus it is very satisfying that ZAP proposed that the new model serf of the advanced technology of structure and frame of body of the major part of concept of APX. The gathering of these technologies of the second generation of vehicle represents another ahead significant step for the technology of the motor vehicles.
The APX presents the flexible technology of architecture of the vehicle of the technology of lotus, combining light aluminium architecture of vehicle with particularly strong and stiff structural rigidity, as well as of the lower conditions of investment of manufacture. Initially after being shown in the world with the Motor-show of Geneva in 2006, the concept of APX gained the 2006 aluminium rewards of European in the transport and the category of the motor vehicles.
The innovating placement of the engine leaves space previously occupied by the conventional engine and the gear box for the capacity and additional approvals of battery, making him a concept very general public of electric car. These characteristics of design will give to the crossing of ZAP-X the resistance of the structure, and potentially to storage and range which no electric vehicle publicly still carried out.
One proposes the development program to be controlled of a new center of excellence for the research and development of the designs and technologies of vehicle favorable to the environment.
The entry of technology will come from technology Inc. lotus, and research and development of the British consultation of technology the other center RU, Malaysia and China.
