GBS ZERO IN SUNNY CORNWALL......


GBS customer Barry Ward from Cornwall collected his Zero kit from the GBS factory in November 2011, and has just sent us over some photographs of his newly registered Zero. Barry said ' The car is a joy to own and a pleasure to drive.  I found the kit to be well manufactured and straightforward to build, particularly with you all being available at the end of the phone for any questions. Many thanks again for all your help and I'll drop in and see you all next time I'm up that way'. Barry has made a superb job of his build, and we are very pleased that he his now able to enjoy the Zero experience.

GBS ZERO GOES TO MIRA FOR TESTING........

 GBS has started the process of getting the Zero homologated for the European market. The first part of this process took place last week with a car going down to the MIRA testing centre, which is a world renowned test facility accredited by the VCA.
The first test that the Zero undertook was Vehicle Exhaust Emissions over a drive cycle the same as any new car would do, the car performed much better than expected with a lot lower g/km of CO2. Also the fuel  consumption figures for the urban, extra urban and the combined were very impressive considering the cars 178bhp, the static and drive by noise tests were also completed.
The GBS Zero range which is available in right and left hand drive has been sold in France, Germany, Sweden, Portugal, Greece, Siberia, South Africa, Australia, America, New Zealand and Ireland.
