In November 2007, ZENN (Zero-Emission No-Noise) Motor Company, a Toronto based manufacturer of electric vehicles, was granted use of Transport Canada’s National Safety Mark, which means the vehicle was confirmed to meet or exceed all of Canada’s standards in its vehicle class. The National Safety Mark is a requirement for any vehicle sold in Canada and confirms that any vehicle bearing this mark meets or exceeds the standards set forth by Transport Canada.
The ZENN is a fully equipped, neighbourhood electric vehicle (NEV) with a range of up to 60 kilometres that recharges using a standard 120 volt electric outlet. The approximate cost of operating a ZENN is just two cents per kilometre with a fuel efficiency that is equivalent to 0.96 litres per 100 kilometres (or about 245 MPG).
The issuance of the National Safety Mark is the first step of many to bringing the ZENN to market in Canada. Of the ten provinces and three territories, only British Columbia currently has low-speed vehicle regulations in place. ZENN Motor Company will begin engaging the provinces to immediately draft low-speed vehicle legislation and do their part to provide consumers with a vehicle choice that drastically reduces their carbon footprint and contributes to a much more sustainable way of living.
