After the Porter electric van and three-wheel scooter with hybrid (electric / gasoline) Pontenbedera the house is going to revolutionize the world of city cars. Revealed details of a proposed top secretdi VINCENZO BORGOMEO
Now it's official: the Piaggio is working on electric car. The confirmation came today at the presentation of the Piaggio-Enel to develop a common strategy on electric mobility when Roberto Colaninno, has admitted that making the electric car need courage, but we go further, we get a bit 'of madness ... "
We know that in Pontedera run several prototype machines eletteriche, but now comes a clarification on the Piaggio Group's strategy in this area: "It must be said - said Colaninno - that there is a huge demand in terms of vehicles with little space occupied by the low price and great flexibility. And who'll first to meet these demands will win a major challenge. I think a city like Sao Paulo, Shanghai, Mumbai, Paris, London, Milan and Naples as well. "
However, this is a major challenge and in fact Colaninno then, returning to the opening line, said: "The madness is not a term that is completely what we are doing. In our case," madness "is synonymous with courage and sensitivity to question comes from the market. Well, if we can answer this question, allaora madness. We have taken the first steps - and today is very important - to go forward on the development of the electric car.
But these steps must be taken with the country system, in the context of alliances for capital and technology. In short, we are moving in this direction, then we'll see ...".
The "move in this direction" but it is almost natural for Piaggio seen that already in the list of Pontedera is a giant wheel hybrid scooter ( with an electric motor and petrol) and a small MPV, the Porter, powered only by batteries. It would, in a sense, just to evolve the offer, even if the car Piaggio prescinedere to the type of engine, does provide a turning point because there is now no secret the secret pact of non-competition Piaggio Fiat. A pact that for years has precluded the possibility that the brand did compete with the Vespa 500. But times have changed and today the Piaggio is moving in every possible direction in the field of mobility.
In any case, the machine remains Piaggio "top secret". This project is still little known, even if the words of Colaninno it turns out a lot. For example, the collaboration with Enel is really strategic. The concept has also been pointed out by Livio Vido, director of engineering and innovation division Enel Spa: "We - Vido said - with Piaggio to develop a system that can better support a compltetamente electric vehicle." More clearly than that you die ...
