SEBASTOPOL, Calif., Nov. 2, 2001 (PRIMEZONE) -- Electric vehicle pioneer ZAP (Nasdaq:ZAPP) has launched a new online service at http://www.zapworld.com where customers can name their own price on close-out, surplus, demos and used electric scooters, bicycles, cars and more.
Mario Bertacco, Director of Internet Marketing for ZAP, said the new bid feature has already increased Internet sales during the two-week testing period. The auction even has non-motorized ZAP bicycles, inline scooters and parts.
"Our website store has always received a lot of traffic, but the bidding feature on our late model and used vehicles is starting to turn more of these web surfers into customers," said Bertacco. "Everybody loves a deal and it shows. We had a 25 percent increase in daily Internet sales the first week we launched the auction."
ZAP's new online auction is featured at ZAP's home page, http://www.zapworld.com.
