ZAP announced it has completed the acquisition of ZAP Latin America, a distribution partner established five years ago to research the market for ZAP vehicles in South America. The company currently operates two retail locations and is creating a manufacturing operation to build ZAPPY electric scooters as well as the company's line of patented ZAP Power System bicycle motors kits. A sample order has been received from Uruguay and first shipments are expected in May.
