ZAP is also unveiling two new prototype ``trybrid'' automobiles through a partnership with Brazilian automaker OBVIO !(tm) Automotoveiculos S.P.E. Ltda., of Rio de Janeiro. ZAP is the exclusive North American distributor for the OBVIO ! ``trybrids,'' which have the ability to run on gas, electricity or alcohol. ZAP plans to make OBVIO ! available to consumers through its dealer network by 2007.
