and intention to move toward an EV future.”

On the new ZS EV variant: “We listened to our customer’s feedback and have fast tracked
the arrival of our long range ZS EV with a larger 72kw battery pack and 440km of range to

latest technology, world class design and quality materials resulting in a 5-star Euro NCAP
rating.”
