ZAP unveiled the hydrogen fuel cell powered pickup as well as a new lithium battery technology at the Consumer Electronics Show. ZAP is forming a new division of the Company to focus on advanced energy technologies alongside its efforts to market advanced transportation.

ZAP's fuel cell technology partner, Anuvu Incorporated, converted the Nissan Frontier 4-door pick-up truck on display at CES. An innovative hybrid fuel cell system powers the vehicle on hydrogen and electricity. With seating for four, a 44-cubic feet cargo bed, power windows, power door locks, and air conditioning, the truck also works like a generator providing a standard 120-volt AC source for powering external machinery and appliances, from power tools to a whole campsite.
