Renewable Energy Stocks: Innovation Drives Investment in Electric Automotive Stocks
Electric Car Market Continues to Move Forward through Efforts from ZAP (OTCBB: ZAAP), Advanced Battery Technologies (OTCBB: ABAT), Azure Dynamics Corporation (TSX: AZD & LSE: ADC) and DaimlerChrysler
Point Roberts, WA, July 27, 2007 --(PR.com)-- InvestorIdeas.com, a leading global investor and industry research resource portal specialized in sector investing, issues the Sector Close Up – Electric Automotive Stocks, a review of electric automotive stocks as innovation drives investment. Investors are taking notice as they are realizing that what is good for the environment can also be very good for the wallet. Leading the way to a ‘green’ future is the electric vehicle market that offers consumers cost savings through efficiency, while at the same time giving investors following the sector, strong upside potential. Stocks in this segment have also received a boost as oil prices remain above $70 per barrel, and global warming has become a top priority among politicians and consumers.
Overcoming some of the historical challenges found within the electric car market are companies that have placed their focus on research and development to introduce next generation transportation systems to the market. Recent announcements within this market have added a sense of confidence in electric vehicles as a viable transportation alternative.
Market milestones include:
ZAP (OTCBB: ZAAP) a leader in advanced transportation technologies, has entered into a supply agreement with Advanced Battery Technologies (OTCBB: ABAT) for polymer lithium and nano batteries. The contract, valued at more than $5 million, will provide ZAP with high performance batteries to be used in their various lines of electric vehicles.
Azure Dynamics Corporation (TSX: AZD & LSE: ADC), a leading developer of hybrid-electric and electric powertrains for commercial vehicles, recently announced an agreement with FedEx Express, a subsidiary of FedEx Corp., for the development of gasoline parallel hybrid-electric powertrains for their delivery fleet.
Global Electric Motorcars, a DaimlerChrysler company, manufactures Neighborhood Electric Vehicles (NEVs) and has been working to meet the growing demand from island resort communities, areas that can benefit from the range, speed and versatility of NEVs. Global Electric Motorcars vehicles were the first multipurpose NEVs available for sale from a major automaker.
