WASHINGTON, DC, Aug 13, 2009 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) -- ZAAP | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- Electric vehicle pioneer ZAP (OTCBB: ZAAP | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating) announced today the company has been awarded a contract to supply the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) with a fleet of its popular Zaptruck XL, a versatile 100% plug-in electric truck. The FAA will take delivery of the vehicles in September at a major metro center in the Midwest.

ZAP CEO Steven Schneider commented, "This announcement demonstrates leadership by the Federal Government to move away from oil and gas consuming vehicles into non-polluting, emission-free, more economical transportation." Schneider indicated the company has been responding to a large number of municipal and governmental RFQ's for vehicles of a similar nature. "We've been delivering to cities, counties, hospitals, colleges, park districts, corporations, small businesses and now we're pleased to be providing them to the Federal Government. ZAP's product strategy is paying off because we have affordable models available for delivery in an era when electric car demand has never been greater."

Schneider said the initial order for seven Zaptruck XLs was placed through one of ZAP's specialty dealers, a certified SDVOSB (Service-connected Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business) supplier in Southern California.

In June ZAP shipped Zaptruck XLs to a U.S. military base.
