    SCOTTSDALE, Ariz.--May 2, 2001--Kinetic-e, an Internet software development company, Wednesday announced its selection as the development partner for ZapCar Inc., a startup automotive wholesale remarketing company.
    Scheduled for mid-2001 completion, ZapCar will be launching a members-only, online auction system specializing in the remarketing of wholesale used vehicles. Kinetic-e will be responsible for architecture, design, development, project management, market testing, Web site launch and on-going maintenance and support.
