Zapp Electric Vehicles Group Limited (NASDAQ: ZAPP) (“Zapp”, or “the Company”), which is in the process of launching its UK-based, high-performance two-wheel electric vehicle brand in Europe, today announced Thodsapol Kaewamorn joined Zapp as Operations Director to lead its team overseeing engineering and outsourced production. Mr. Kaewamorn has more than 20 years of experience in the automotive industry with a proven track record of successfully launching new production lines and setting up new plants to manufacture vehicles and automotive products.

Before that, he worked for twelve years at Summit Group, which is Zapp’s contract manufacturer, as a Project Manager and Process Engineering Manager for planning and launching new models.

Swin Chatsuwan, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Zapp, commented: “Thodsapol brings a long and proven track record of new product launches and quality assurance from his experience at Adient, Nissan and Summit. This will strengthen our team’s capabilities and ensure the premium quality and timely delivery of Zapp’s products for customers as we establish the i300 as the preferred method of electrified personal urban mobility. We look forward to the successful rollout of the i300 in key markets in Europe on the way toward expansion globally.”

Mr. Kaewamorn added: “Electrification in the powered two-wheeler space is inevitable and I believe Zapp is poised to become a major player in this sector. It is an incredible opportunity to be a part of the Zapp team in executing its vision for the conversion of urban mobility to electric vehicles globally.”
