ZENN Motor - Profiteur vom kommenden e-car Boom ?

chart: neues ATH - und sehr gut gehalten in den letzten Tagen  (obwohl "e-car" - keine Selbstverständlichkeit; an bösen Tagen wie zuletzt findet meist ein ziemlich undifferenzierter Ausverkauf statt. Ich gehe davon aus, dass Zenn Motors sich auch in den nächsten Tagen gut entwickelt, falls sich die Börsen doch ein bisschen (technisch) erholen sollten (begrenzt möglich - solange der Ölpreis auf diesem Niveau bleibt - aber auch das wäre nicht schlecht für Zenn Cars)

Jun 17, 2008 19:44 ET ZENN Motor Company Evaluating Canadian Expansion
TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - June 17, 2008) - ZENN Motor Company Inc. ("ZMC" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:ZNN) is evaluating the potential sale of its fully electric vehicles in Canada in light of the Quebec Ministry of Transportation's announcement that it has introduced a province-wide, three-year pilot project that enables Low-Speed Vehicles (LSVs) in the province of Quebec.

"This is a significant reversal to the previous legislative hurdles that prevented ZENN Motor Company from seriously considering sales activity in the Canadian market and as such, the next step for our company is to fully evaluate the market in the context of this new initiative", stated Ian Clifford, CEO of ZENN Motor Company. "Expansion into the Quebec market will require the establishment of proper sales and service channels and we are actively assessing this to try and bring the ZENN to Quebec as soon as possible."

Quebecers can sign up today to demonstrate their support for bringing the all-electric ZENN (Zero Emission, No Noise) to Canada. A waiting list has been established at www.ZENNcars.com whereby consumers can formally state their interest in purchasing a ZENN and receive future e-mail updates as expansion plans progress. Canadian pricing has not yet been determined, but it is anticipated to be comparable to the ZENN's current MSRP (Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price) of US $15,995.

"The all-electric ZENN is proudly manufactured in Saint-Jerome, Quebec, and we are delighted with the Province's environmentally progressive initiative to support low-speed vehicles," added Clifford. "This pilot project will further prove the viability of low-speed vehicles in mixed-use environments and Minister Boulet should be commended for her leadership in promoting safe and sustainable transportation solutions for Canadians."

The ZENN is currently sold exclusively throughout the United States. The ZENN is road-legal in 44 out of 50 states and is used extensively in mixed-use environments.

The ZENN LSV is ideal for both city core and neighbourhood driving. With a federally regulated maximum speed of 40 km/h, the ZENN is permitted by this pilot project to travel on roads with posted speed limits of up to 50 km/h. The ZENN two-seater hatchback has a typical range of 50-80 kilometres, can be recharged to 80% capacity in as little as four hours from a completely empty "tank" simply by plugging into a regular wall outlet and has plenty of cargo capacity for a week's worth of groceries or a couple of hockey bags. The ZENN is the ideal second car for families, or the perfect fleet vehicle for use in Tourism, security applications, parking enforcement, meter reading and more.

Given the rising cost of fuel in Canada, the ZENN is a cost-effective and environmentally friendly alternative to gas-guzzling and polluting conventional vehicles. Driving a ZENN versus a conventional vehicle can prevent over six tonnes of CO2 per year from the entering the earth's atmosphere. And with roughly one tenth the operating costs and the convenience of 'filling up' at home, being socially responsible has never been so easy or made more sound financial sense.

Businesses and consumers wanting to be first in line to purchase a ZENN in Quebec can sign up on the waiting list at www.ZENNcars.com

ABOUT ZENN Motor Company Inc.

With Head Offices in Toronto, Canada, ZENN Motor Company is dedicated to being the global leader in producing zero emission transportation solutions for markets around the world. The Company's current ZENN car is the perfect vehicle for urban commuters, fleets (such as resorts, gated communities, airports, college and business campuses, municipalities, parks and more), the environmentally conscious driver, and consumers who just want to save money. The ZENN is sold through a growing network of retailers across the United States.

The ZENN is a fully electric low speed vehicle that offers customers tremendous operational cost savings compared to a vehicle powered by an internal combustion engine. Recently named "Commuter King of the Plug-ins" by Newsweek Magazine, Newsweek also stated: "the 2008 ZENN is ultra nimble, quick from a stop and perfect for small parking spaces and San Franciscan slopes".

The potential commercialization of the high power-density ceramic ultra capacitor being developed by the Company's strategic partner, EEStor Inc. for future ZENN vehicles will enable them to travel at highway speeds and extended distances like a traditional car at a fraction of the cost. Moreover, ZENN electric vehicles don't emit emissions or noise pollution and provide their owners a freedom from worrying about escalating gas prices - making widespread concerns about oil dependency a thing of the past.

Zenn frame of mind could be next big thing

Gilles Allard, production chief of Zenn Motor Co., still visits his local gas station despite the fact he drives one of the company's gas-less electric cars. As he says, he needs his milk and cigarettes.

Mr. Allard is a busy guy these days. His small team is building Zenn cars at a factory just north of Montreal at a rate of two to three vehicles a day and counting. Every one of them is being shipped to dealers in the United States for willing buyers. They're still illegal on most Canadian roads.

Like other companies selling alternative transportation in an oil-dependent world, Toronto-based Zenn has suddenly become a sexy stock. Its shares have gained 81% over the past three months on the Toronto Venture Exchange despite the fact the company has yet to post a profit.

Thing is, Zenn could soon be much more than sexy. It could be downright disruptive, turning the automotive industry on its head.

Sometime over the next several weeks, a privately held and ultra-secretive company named EEStor Inc., based in Cedar Park, Tex., is expected to release the results of independent third-party testing of its electrical energy storage unit, which aims to replace the electrochemical batteries we now use in everything from hybrid cars to laptop computers. EEStor says its system, combining battery and ultracapacitor technology and based on modified barium titanate ceramic powder, could power a car for 400 kilometres with regular performance. It claims the unit would charge in a few minutes and weigh less than 10% of current lead-acid batteries for the same cost.

If it is proven to work, EEStor, and its equity and business partners, including Zenn and U. S. defence contractor Lockheed Martin Corp., will have a technology that could change the transportation industry, with implications for renewable energy and any sector that needs electrical energy storage technology.

Officials at Lockheed, which this year bought exclusive rights to use EEStor's power system for military purposes, have said the technology "could lead to energy independence for the warfighter." Officials with Zenn, which bought exclusive worldwide rights to the system for vehicles weighing up to 1,400 kg, say they believe it is the "holy grail" of electric storage systems.

EEStor has said it expects its technology to be commercially ready within six months.

"This is not small potatoes here. If this works it really changes the transportation sector," says Massimo Fiore, an analyst with Versant Partners in Montreal. He rates Zenn a "speculative buy" with a one-year price target of $6.50.

"You'd have a very strong decoupling from oil," he said. "[Zenn] could have a very big return for investors. But it is still speculative."

Rick Welty of investment advisory firm Welty Capital Management in LaFayette, Calif., recently discussed Zenn on Bloomberg TV. "The caveat is the upside-downside potential" for the company's stock, he said. "If it doesn't work, it probably goes to $1 a share. If it does work, it could be $15 or $20 or far higher."

Zenn's future growth is inextricably linked to EEStor's success or failure. It holds a 3.8% equity position in EEStor, a strategic investment allowing Zenn to participate in the commercialization of its technology in such non-automotive applications as aerospace. And its next generation of planned cars, called the cityZenn, will trade in the company's current lead-acid batteries for EEStor's storage unit.

A commercially viable power source by EEStor would boost the maximum speed of its cars from 40 km/h to 120 km/h, take them from the backroads to the highways, and thrust Zenn from a small company making niche electric vehicles into the global automotive mainstream.

Zenn and EEStor are not alone in the hunt for electric supremacy. Several major and minor companies are working on making better-performing batteries for all-electric and hybrid cars. General Motors Corp.'s Volt car, powered with lithium-ion batteries, is perhaps the most high-profile electric vehicle planned. But Toyota Motor Corp., Nissan, Mitsubishi, Renault-Nissan and others have outlined plans for electric cars coming to market in North America as soon as 2010.

The challenge for all is developing a battery that delivers enough power and range for everyday transportation at a consistent quality for mass production, said Eric Fedewa, an analyst for CSM Worldwide in Northville, Mich. "It comes down to ultimately what is it going to cost the manufacturers to produce that technology in the vehicle. And will consumers accept that cost?"

EEStor certainly has its skeptics. They argue scientists and engineers have been trying to make a similar power unit for 20 years without success. And history has not been kind to some technology hopefuls such as Ballard Power Systems.

But it also has a powerful venture-capital backer, Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, with a pretty good knack for picking winners. Kleiner was an early investor in both Google and Amazon.

"If for some reason EEStor is delayed, we will continue to use the best technologies available," acknowledges Ian Clifford, Zenn founder and chief executive. "But ultimately, to get 400 kilometres of range, the ability to recharge in minutes, low costs and the ability to operate in extreme climates -- all of those benefits, those come from EEStor. Those are the game-changing specifications."

tadelloser Chart

Wenn der technologische Durchbruch gelingt (zur Zeit wird die auf Barium Titanat basierende "Kondensatorbatterie" von unabhängigen 3.ten getestet) - winken hier mehrere hundert bis tausend %.

ALLERDINGS, wenn nicht, dann "muss" Zenn weiter seine auf 40 km/beschränkten wirklich bescheidenen e-cars verkaufen. In diesem Fall würden Verluste von 50 bis 80 % drohen.
Bin daher nur mit 3 % meines depots drinnen (aber "theoretisch könnten darauf in relativ kurzer Zeit 30 % werden - oder eben nur 1 % ;0)  

Moin Biomüll,
sag mal: Gibts schon News von der EEStor-Studie? Oder einen genauen Termin wann die kommen soll?
Bin ebenfalls nur mit einer Mini-Position drin. Leider damals auf ATH zu >4€. Naja, ist für mich kein Zock, sondern LAngfristanlage.
Wollt auch nur horchen, ob du hier weiterhin neue Infos reinstellst sobald es welche gibt?
Gruß, trailer  

..und keiner merkt es...?!  

..weiter so!  

 

und heute?  

 

mal schsuen rechne kursfristig mit 25% aufschlag  

gemessen am 1,01€ sind das ca. 35%,wenn die umsätze noch etwas kfräftiger wären,würde sich zenn besser traden lassen  

Kam denn der schnelle anstieg und der darauffolgende schnelle Abstieg her?

Ist hier überhaupt novh was los?

Weis jmd. was über diese Aktie?

 

 

jetzt gehts wieder abwärts...richtung 1€ marke  

Zenn ist nichts weiter als eine Ad-Hoc Mitteilungsfabrik.
Es gibt nichts Handfestes, nur Hoffnug.
Nachdem die Produktion der jämmerlichen Autos aufgegeben wurde, soll die Technologie vermarktet werden.
Wer soll das denn Kaufen ?
Know How von Autos die keine 50 Kmh fahren ???
Kursziel -> 30 Cent

sieht nach einem intakten abwärtstrend aus...
auch wenn mit plötzlichen ausbrüchen nach oben gerechnet werden kann  

scheinbar eine chinesische aktie die man mit vorsicht geniessen sollte...  

Also wer denkt, daß von Zenn jemals was kommen wird, dem ist nicht zu helfen.
Noch nicht mal ansatzweise wurde bewiesen, daß die proklamierte Technik funtionieren könnte.
Bin gespann, wann das Kartenhaus gänzlich zusammenfällt.

Das einzig erstaunliche ist, daß der Kurs momentan noch um die 0.7 $ pendelt.
Aber wie lange noch?  

wie lange noch, siehst Du doch.
Die Zeiten von 0,70 hören endgültig der Vergangenheit an.
Ich denke, noch 2, 3 Jahre, dann ist das Ding durch - im übertragenen Sinne.
Zenn hat sich die Option auf die Exclusivrechte gesichert, alles was vier Beine, ähh Räder hat, auszurüsten, zu beliefern oder wie ihnen immer beliebt.
Einen absolut nichtssagenden Tech-Knochen hat Eestor am 15.Mai darniedergeworfen, doch wenn Du bei w:o nicht vor Langeweile eingeschlafen bist, ist dir sicherlich nicht entgangen, dass vor kurzem so um den 25. Mai ein Technical Agreement unter sedar veröffentlich wurde, welches mit ein wenig Geschick auch prompt entschwärzt wurde. Diese schwarzen Balken..., wenn Du weisst was ich meine.
Die jedenfalls sind jetzt de facto weg und eröffnen völlig neue Horizonte.

Wenn nach wie vor alles mit rechten Dingen vorgeht - ein Spamvorwurf ist inzwischen blanker Hohn...;-) -  dann wird die Welt mittelfristig mit dem Finger auf die Exxons dieser Welt zeigen und lachen, wie schön eine Energiewende vonstatten gehen kann, wenn nur die zugrundeliegende Technologie zur Verfügung steht.
Naja, die FE ist natürlich um einiges konkurrenzfähiger, aber machen wir uns nichts vor:

Glaubst Du, dass 2012 DIE Bewusstseinserweiterung eintritt, die den Bush´s, Obamas, Merkels und Putins(und jenen, die noch viel höher sitzen) dieser Welt in den A.. tritt?

Nein?
Ich auch nicht, also... "Dick, get ready for rumble!"
