Zap to sell first Hybrid Fuel Cell Vehicle this year

Zap and Anuvu will offer a hydrogen fuel cell-electric vehicle for sale sometime this year.

Converted from a Nissan Frontier, the 4-door pickup is currently on display at CES, a technology tradeshow in Las Vegas.

Zap and Anuvu want to be to first to begin delivering production fuel cell vehicles this year.

Anuvu CEO Tom Scrima stated: "Thanks to ZAP's diverse line of electric vehicles, Anuvu's dream of affordable fuel cell hybrids can be achieved in 2005. ZAP electric vehicles can be modified to run on fuel cells, helping to increasing their range and performance. Fuel cells will change the world as we know it. People can now drive electric vehicles without having to plug in to recharge all the time and some talk about running their entire household by plugging into their car."
