TalkingStocks.com Issues a New Profile Report on ZAP Regarding Recent Regulatory Approval for Smart Car Imports


DALLAS, April 20, 2005 (PRIMEZONE) -- TalkingStocks.com has issued a new Profile Report on ZAP (OTCBB:ZAPZ) covering the recent regulatory approval and clearance which allow it to begin importing and selling the high-efficiency Smart Car from Europe. The report is authored by TalkingStocks.com Investment Analyst Shailesh Dhuri, CFA.

In the report Mr. Dhuri writes, "ZAP recently announced that it has cleared all regulatory hurdles for the launch of its "Smart Car" in the U.S., where it already has advance orders worth $750 million for this European vehicle. This is an excellent indication of the rising popularity of high-efficiency vehicles in America. This enormous figure suggests there is a significant pent-up demand for these vehicles."

Mr. Dhuri continues, "We believe current oil economics favor the increased use of electric cars for traveling short distances, such as in the city or areas no more than a few miles away. If this trend continues, companies which focus on selling quality high-efficiency cars will benefit the most."
