The event is organized for federal, state and local government legislators, GSA and various fleet managers, Pentagon-level officials from all U.S. service branches, as well as students from El Paso-area colleges and universities.
ZAP is demonstrating its Zaptruck XL with convertible bed for moving up to 1,900 lbs. of cargo, the Zapvan Shuttle for transporting up to four passengers or allowing easy side loading through sliding doors, and the Zap Dude ATV, which is ideal for installation security patrol and maintenance functions.
"We are eager to receive first-hand feedback from all levels of military personnel who will have a first-hand opportunity to experience our electric vehicles," said ZAP CEO Steve Schneider. "We believe that communication and partnerships between energy innovators and the military will lead to practical solutions that reduce adverse effects on the environment such as vehicles that are more energy efficient and simpler to maintain."
