Zapp Electric Vehicles Group Limited (NASDAQ:ZAPP) shares are trading higher Thursday after the company signed a memorandum of understanding and intends to appoint Bounce Electric 1 Private as its contract manufacturing partner for sales of the i300 in India.
The Details:
Zapp EV noted that Bounce already operates a domestic vehicle assembly facility and may further assist with distribution of i300 in India. Zapp EV said both parties intend for Bounce to provide the necessary support for homologation in India while Zapp continues working toward commercial rollout and first customer deliveries of the i300 in Europe and Thailand in summer 2024.
“India is one of the largest markets in the world for sales of two-wheelers and the number of premium models sold there is estimated to be more than four times the number of all models sold in the US. Bounce already operates a certified vehicle assembly facility in India, so this partnership is expected to accelerate Zapp’s commercial rollout in that country," said Swin Chatsuwan, CEO of Zapp EV.
Zapp EV shares are soaring on heavy trading volume and have been halted several times for volatility following the company’s announcement.

Buyback programs usually serve as a support for share prices, serving as a backstop for demand.
