evstores have been selected to
distribute the
Italian-manufactured Tazzari
ZERO in the UK. VERDEK-EV's
will exclusively distribute the
vehicle in North America, Mexico
and the Caribbean islands.
Along with battery electric
vehicles (BEVs), plug-in hybrids
(PHEVs) and other alternate-fueled
vehicles, NEVs are a growing and
critical niche within the future
of worldwide transportation.
With 40% of the world driving
less than 40 miles per day, NEVs
are optimally suited to satisfy
much of the local transportation
demands.
The Tazzari ZERO is not another
"Made in China" vehicle. Based
in the Emilia Romagna region of
Italy, the home of exotic sports
cars like Ferrari, Lamborghini
and Maserati, the Tazzari Group
plans to manufacture an
innovative, stylish and upscale
micro-car for the
environmentally concerned urban
enthusiast. Tazzari believes
that "Made in Italy" will stand
for "Best in Class" in the EV
market as well.
The sporty, aluminum-bodied
Tazzari ZERO delivers zero
emissions, has a top speed of 56
mph that will be electronically
limited to a maximum speed of
25-45 mph (depending on State
regulations) and a number of
creature features, such as a
removable sunroof, heating and
air conditioning, stereo radio
with MP3 and CD player, 15"
custom colored wheels,
performance disc brakes at each
corner, fog lamps, leather
steering wheel and seats, even
cup holders.
The micro-car has a payload of
430 pounds and has a luggage
capacity of nearly six cu. ft.
Using state-of-the-art
lithium-ion batteries fairly
unique to NEVs, the batteries
have an estimated life of 50,000
miles and can be recharged in
6.5 hours (220 volts) or 50
minutes (at 80% of the full
charge) with optional Super-fast
battery charger.
The Tazzari ZERO will be
introduced in December 2009 at
the Bologna International Motor
Show and will be imported to
North America immediately
thereafter. The Tazzari ZERO -
Ecologic, Electric and Dynamic
-- is an exciting response to
the congested and polluted urban
centers.
In
the near future, VERDEK-EV and
the Tazzari Group also plan to
investigate the potential of
certifying the Tazzari ZERO as a
battery electric vehicle,
thereby allowing customers to
enjoy the full capability and
performance of this exciting
micro-car.
