Smart Car Service Training Scheduled for ZAP Auto Dealers June 27-29; Level One Training Course for Smart Car Supports ZAP's Goal to Provide `World Class Service' in Advanced Technology Vehicles
Business Wire - June 10, 2005 06:00

SANTA ROSA, Calif., Jun 10, 2005 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- ZAP (OTCBB:ZAPZ), pioneering the next generation of advanced transportation and energy technologies, announced today that it has scheduled its first automotive dealer service training in care and maintenance of the Smart Car, to take place June 28-29 at the ZAP training center in Southern California.

The training program is part of the Company's initiative to ensure first-quality customer support for buyers of the Smart Car Americanized by ZAP. The Company will require that all dealers of the Smart Car Americanized by ZAP must attend and fulfill a three-phase training course, held in conjunction with its Smart Car import partner Smart-Automobile LLC. According to ZAP CEO Steve Schneider, the first level of Smart Car training will involve basic product training, general maintenance, and troubleshooting. It will also involve extensive training on the Smart Tester diagnostic computers -- the same computer systems that Smart Car technicians use throughout Europe, where the microcar has sold widely.

"ZAP is committed to take all necessary steps to provide only the highest levels of customer service and product support for the Smart Car, to ensure that the Smart Car customer experience is a positive one for American drivers," said Mr. Schneider. "ZAP's goal is to become the portal for the next generation of automotive and transportation technologies. We want to be a leader in this emerging market. Along with that comes the responsibility to provide a world-class ownership experience with superior customer satisfaction and technical support.

"Our master mechanic was trained in Germany with a Smart chief service mechanic. ZAP also has other master mechanics under contract who have worked for many years in Smart Centers in Germany. These mechanics have trained other ZAP/Smart Automobile, LLC mechanics, who will in turn train the mechanics for ZAP's authorized Voltage Vehicle dealers," added Schneider.

As part of its initiative to ensure robust maintenance and repair support, Smart-Automobile has organized a parts-ordering system that will provide an inventory of the most popular replacement parts in California. Each dealer will also be required to stock a minimum number of these parts. An ordering system will be established to expedite delivery of less common parts to dealers via express mail service.
