(VNDB.OB) Vendum Batteries Launches New Prototype R&D Program
Posted on 16. Mar, 2011 by PublicWire
(PublicWire.com News Release) Vendum Batteries (OTCBB: VNDB), a US-based battery technology development company, is pleased to announce the launch of a new prototype research and development program.
The 6 month program, run by Vendum, will create multiple prototype materials and run extensive tests, the results of which will be used to develop functioning battery prototypes over the coming 18 months, but should also take us in new directions other than clean energy.
CEO Fraser Cottington comments, “As a company on the cutting edge of battery technology, research and development plays a vital role in our growth strategy. We are extremely excited about the program and I have no doubt the findings will open up fantastic opportunities for collaborative partnerships. We also look forward to the prospect of developing further intellectual property in the clean energy storage market, including cellulose paper based super capacitors.”
Vendum is currently developing a Carbon Nanotube (CNT) and cellulose-based power source, ultimately aimed at revolutionizing the way we power mobile device to cars. Composed primarily of cellulose, raw materials are abundant across the world and fully biodegradable, therefore cost effective and harmless to the planet and people.
About Vendum Batteries, Inc.
Vendum Batteries has a pending patent on a non-toxic, cellulose and CNT based light-weight battery. The paper-thin battery contains none of the toxic elements used in conventional batteries, such as mercury, lead, chromium, or cadmium. Our cutting edge carbon nanotube and cellulose-based technology makes it entirely biodegradable. The Vendum Battery will be developed from its current low power capacity, to soon accommodate the ever-increasing global demand for durable battery power for cell phones, iPods, human implants and eventually electrical vehicles etc.
Americans purchase around 5 billion batteries, leaving 146,000 tons of battery waste behind, and given that the worldwide personal battery use is a growing $63 billion industry, the potential of this revolutionary non-toxic technology could be enormous.

2/18 (ZAAP.OB) USPS Picks ZAP to Make Mail Truck Electric
Posted on 18. Feb, 2010 by PublicWire in Technology
(PublicWire) — The United States Postal Service (USPS) has awarded electric car pioneer ZAP (OTCBB: ZAAP) an engineering contract for the design and development of an electric version of its Long Life Vehicle (LLV).
ZAP will convert the gasoline mail truck to run on electricity as specified by the USPS at facilities in Santa Rosa, California. Following completion the converted vehicle will undergo field trials in the Washington, DC metropolitan area later this year. ZAP was selected along with four other firms in a competitive bid process held nationwide by the USPS.
Wednesday, US Congresswoman Lynn Woolsey, D-California, toured ZAP’s facility, commenting on job creation by ZAP and the Postal Service: “I so appreciate ZAP for hanging in there all these years, knowing what we should be doing as a country. I think a majority of members of Congress, the House in particular, know that they were right and that this is where we need to be investing.” A video and slideshow of the tour are available at http://zapglobal.wordpress.com.
The USPS operates a fleet of approximately 142,000 LLVs as part of the largest civilian fleet in the world, according to USPS sources, with 218,684 vehicles traveling more than 1.25 billion miles each year. The USPS fleet consumed 444 million gallons of fuel in 2009, costing roughly $1.1 billion. Agency vehicles average 10.4 miles per gallon since most drive slowly and make frequent stops with the engine idling between mailboxes.
Rep. Jose E. Serrano (D-New York) has introduced legislation calling for at least 20,000 electric vehicles to be put into service with the USPS to reduce fuel consumption. Rep. Serrano also called for the allocation of $1.86 billion to the Energy Department and Postal Service to convert current mail trucks or manufacture new ones. H.R. 4399 entitled the American Electric Vehicle Manufacturing Act has been referred to the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.
ZAP believes the use of electric mail trucks in the postal fleet could be a multi-billion dollar market opportunity for manufacturers of electric vehicles and have a positive impact on the environment by increasing efficiency while reducing air pollution and gasoline consumption.
