Piaggio Commercial SA has been a Chamber member for several years now.
Piaggio Commercial Apé is an Italian designed Piaggio Tri-Porter. The Tuk Tuk’s history began at the Italian Piaggio factory in Pontedera, near the leaning tower of Pisa in Italy, after the end of World War II.
In 1947, after the inventor of the Vespa Scooter, aircraft designer Corradino D’Ascanio, came up with the idea of building a light three-wheeled commercial vehicle, an idea which found favour with Enrico Piaggio, the son of the firm’s founder, Rinaldo.
The Apé has been in continuous production since its inception and has been produced in a variety of different body styles in Italy and other parts of the globe.
Apé’s load body and van models have a door on each side, making it quicker to get out of the vehicle when making deliveries to different sides of the road.
Performance is suited to the job of light delivery and short-distance travel, with good torque for hills but a low top speed, which is irrelevant in the urban settings for it was designed.
