The Z.CAR-II is a compact 4-wheeled 4-seater city-car that is based on its 3-wheeled predecessor, the Z.CAR. It is an emission-free vehicle that is powered by rechargeable lithium-ion batteries. To save space and increase performance the car is fitted with 4 electric in-wheel motors that make it very quiet.

The large sliding passenger doors give easy access. The compact design is taking advantage a high degree of weight and space distribution for all the mechanical and electrical components.
