Piaggio

Piaggio - the story

The world-famous Italian brand Piaggio was founded as early as 1884. They started out with building ships, railway carriages and airplanes. This was very lucrative during the war, but when the factory in Pondetera was destroyed and the war ended they had to rethink and diversify. Piaggio realized that there was a strong need for small and affordable transportation in Italy after the war. Piaggio developed a small motorcycle or scooter, which was introduced under the name "Vespa" in 1946. The famous "Ape" cargo tricycle was launched in 1948. In 1957 the first small car was presented and in 1967 the first "Ciao" moped, which revolutionized the 50cc market and was built until the beginning of the 90s.

Piaggio - Likeable giant in the scooter Industry

The company was so successful that it continued its success story by buying up many small brands. The brands Puch, Derbi, Gilera, Aprilia and Moto Guzzi were taken over by Piaggio. This way the product range was expanded significantly and the distribution network got bigger and bigger. Piaggio never rested on its laurels, but continued to launch innovations such as the revolutionary Piaggio MP3. The 3-wheel maxi scooter has a patented concept with two wheels in front that stabilize the vehicle but still provide the driving experience of a normal scooter.
