TaTa ◊ 2006-11-11 18:18	Dévelopée au Québec
IRT_BMT_IND ◊ 2006-11-11 19:22	Zenn is the model name, The manufacturer is a company called "Feel Good Cars" (who also sold Renault Dauphines converted to run off electricity). (I've seen one of these on the street before, it had a big red decal on the rear bumper reading "Maximum Speed - 40Km/h"!) -- Last edit: 2006-11-11 19:27:18
Gag Halfrunt ◊ 2006-11-11 19:36	antp wrote I think that "Neighborhood Electric Car" is not the model name but just the type of vehicle, which should be "Neighborhood Electric Vehicle" actually (NEV). According to Wikipedia: Quote Neighborhood Electric Vehicle (NEV) is an American term for a speed limited battery electric vehicle (usually 25 miles per hour in the U.S.A.) restricted by law to operation on roads with speed limits not exceeding 35 MPH. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neighborhood_electric_vehicle
antp ◊ 2006-11-11 21:45	Feel Good Cars seems to be the company. Not sure that the car use that name as "make". It seems that it is just Zenn without anything more.
antp ◊ 2006-11-13 11:58	Listed as Zenn EV on Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zenn_EV
DeltaGolf ◊ 2011-04-25 14:13	Based on Microcar MC2. Maybe model origin should be France even if the drivetrain was designed in Canada?
Mudflap ◊ 2011-04-25 14:18	ZENN is Canadian (Toronto to be precise) and the car is manufactured in Saint-Jérôme, north of Montreal.
Mudflap ◊ 2011-04-25 14:21	ZENN stands for Zero Emission No Noise IMHO, the car looks pretty ridiculous.
DeltaGolf ◊ 2011-04-25 14:22	Mudflap wrote ZENN is Canadian (Toronto to be precise) and the car is manufactured in Saint-Jérôme, north of Montreal. I know, but the basic vehicle is designed by the French Microcar company. Here's another ZENN (incorrectly listed as a Microcar) with Model origin: France and Built in: Canada: /vehicle_208239-Microcar-MC2.html -- Last edit: 2011-04-25 14:23:16
Mudflap ◊ 2011-04-25 14:28	Got it. So is it badged as ZENN for US and Canadian market?
DeltaGolf ◊ 2011-04-25 14:34	Yes, although the Microcars usually have diesel engines. According to Wikipedia, Microcar also imports ZENN EV:s to Europe and sells them with the name Microcar ZENN. -- Last edit: 2011-04-25 14:34:24
Mudflap ◊ 2011-04-25 14:35	So in that case, would this be Microcar ZENN? (Set in Italy) /vehicle.php?id=255429
Sandie ◊ 2011-04-25 14:41	No as that one might be diesel powered. The Electric ones are rare in Europe.
DeltaGolf ◊ 2011-04-25 14:41	The MC1 (short wheel base) and MC2 (long wheel base) diesel versions are indeed far more common. The MC2 was also featured on Fifth Gear: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rXAUI_y79mc -- Last edit: 2011-04-25 14:42:42
antp ◊ 2011-04-26 12:52	Sandie wrote The Electric ones are rare in Europe. But that scene was probably made in US, cf comment on movie page /movie_808151-Angels-and-Demons.html
