Zenn Cars

Introduction to Zenn Motors

 Zenn Motors or ZMC is a world-class maker of neighborhood electric vehicles. It focuses on producing cars that will provide quality city transportation while giving off quite a good impact to the environment. It works dedicatedly on the finest zero-emitting vehicles, with luxury neighborhood vehicles as their evident products. NEV’s are Zenn Motors stepping stone for producing more heavily-powered vehicles that are freeway-capable. It is based in Canada and whose products are highly anchored from Microcar MC2 of France. It is also operating under the banner of Beneteau Group.

 For a typical Zenn NEV, its specifications include a travel range of thirty to fifty miles. It can tolerate a top speed of up to twenty five miles per hour. For a consistently smooth and non-stop travel, batteries should be in full charge of up to eight hours. It is configured to be a front-wheel drive with a three-door hatchback. As for brakes, it operates on a four-wheel disc powered with electromagnetic regeneration. The batteries utilized are specifically six twelve-bold lead-acid batteries. If you check out the cargo, it is a roomy thirteen cubic feet. Overall length is pegged at 10.1 feet, width is 5.2 feet and height is 4.6 feet. The Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) of Zenn NEV amounts to 1,705 lbs, while curb weight is 1,200 lbs. Other features include an audio entertainment system, air conditioning and a fabric sunroof that is retractable.

  The first ever prototype vehicle designed by the company during the year 2000 is called the Dauphine Electric. It was patterned from the economy class Renault Dauphine that was French-made. After a year, the purely electric prototype vehicle was first seen on display before a great number of audiences at the Toronto International Auto Show. The idea of Zenn is to do away with producing vehicles from scratch. To support this decision, they moved to recycle the innate infrastructure of Europe’s Microcar. Primarily, Mircrocar produces lightweight vehicles that are powered by diesel and are very much ideal for city-wide excursions. The initial acquisition was ten Microcar vehicles minus the glider attached to it as a component for internal combustion. In place of this, an apt electric component was installed by ZENN, giving way to the new neighborhood electric vehicle they release.

 The Battery Technology Used

 Zenn aims to make an alternative to these so-called internal combustion engines but this need was not met until solid-state and high-energy batteries were produced. This is where EEStor during the year 2001 comes in the picture. Zenn took interest in the battery technology that was independently developed by EEStor because the former believes that this kind of technology will be the keystone to producing all-electric vehicles. They intention was to provide a battery that will allow for 250 miles of travel or 400 kilometers per charge, with as little as three to five minutes of charging time and millions of recharging times.

  EEStor, Zenn’s source of batteries, claims that its newly developed technology that makes use of ultracapacitors is major enhancement over lithium ion batteries. It comes in neatly packed storages that is reduced in weight and volume while delivering the same amount of energy as with other batteries that are bigger in size and volume. Another upside of these revolutionized batteries is that they are proven to operate on extreme temperatures. EEStor also maintains that there is no use whatsoever of any hazardous materials during the production of these batteries. Having that said, EEStor has helped Zenn produce the best ever electric vehicles to ever traverse the roads.  Their perfect tandem and EEStors loyal provision to Zenn of high-end batteries are altogether very contributive to the success that was tapped deservinly by Zenn Motors.

 Featuring the Zenn Hatchback

 The Zenn Hatchback is equipped with an aluminum-alloy chassis that underwent transportation tests and passed them all as per FMVSS500 standards. It has a lightweight exterior and the ABS panels are rust and dent-proof. Generally, it is foreseen to carry out long-term use as it exceeded durability expectations of users.

 This Zenn vehicle is a three-door car and can house a driver and a passenger comfortably. It is complete with cool car features that include keyless entries, defrost, wipers, heater, power locks and windows, and a panoramic sunroof. Its cargo fits in a thirteen cubic feet of storage and overall comes in a very affordable price. The best thing about this electric vehicle is that it frees you from replacement and repair costs, and pricey oil changes and oil filters. You do not have anything to do with elaborate tune-ups anymore that an internal combustion engine requires. Because of its regenerative braking feature, wearing of brakes is reduced while efficiently improving driving speed. The top speed of this car is twenty five miles per hour at most and type of fuel is purely electric. With a fully charged battery, it can traverse a thirty five miles worth of travel.

 Featuring the CityZenn

 While Zenn is manufacturing low speed vehicles, it has also given prime consideration to highway speed vehicles they labeled as the CityZenn. It was projected to allow a top speed of one hundred and twenty five kilometer per hour or 80 mph, with a travel range of two hundred fifty miles or 400 kilometers. It will be able to fully regain exhausted battery life in less than five minutes and will operate at a cost of one-tenth of a conventional internal combustion engine vehicle. Best of all, it is one hundred percent emission-free. Driving experience with CityZenn is going to be a noiseless, smooth travel while designed to meet the general requirements of Department of Transportation.

 Zenn only offers a new state of driving. With Zenn cars, you are assured that you have with you a stylish travel companion that is always ready for the road. There are absolutely zero emissions that is why it is safe to both you and your environment. It is pocket-friendly most especially when it comes to saving for fuel costs and other maintenance and operational expenses.
