The outfit says it will also manufacture the vehicles within the United States employing as many as 2600 workers by 2014.

The company produces two models at present the two-seater e-zone (as pictured) and c-zone light utility. Prices range from US$8000 to US$16,000.

CT&T says it also plans to manufacture batteries for electric and hybrid vehicles in the United States and market them to other manufacturers.
