Electric Fuel Joins International Zinc Consortium
Arotech Corp.’s Electric Fuel subsidiary
is one of the founders of the Zinc Energy Storage
Technology (ZEST) Consortium that was launched
in March. The consortium will initially focus
on the electric vehicle market in Asia and aims
to enable the market for zinc-energy storage technology
to realize its full potential.
In preparation for the Olympic Games in Beijing
in 2008, China has committed to employing 1,000
environmentally clean buses for transportation
of athletes to and from sporting venues, and consortium
members are bidding to supply at least part of
this fleet. Also, the Shanghai municipal government
is expected to co-operate in the green renovation
of Shanghai’s 18,000 buses.
