While Piaggio may be best known the world over for its iconic scooters under the Vespa brand, or the high-performance machines from Aprilia, in India, the Italian company is also responsible for providing individuals affordable, practical, and utilitarian transport thanks to the variety of the company’s model range in the region.
Companies in multiple industries are currently reeling from the effects of the global pandemic. However, it’s interesting to note that the motorcycle industry has seen substantial growth, thanks largely in part to the increased demand for personal mobility. In India in particular, nearly all motorcycle makers had seen double-digit growth in recent months, with TVS, for example, posting a whopping 100-percent growth for March. That being said, the industry has the capital for expansion, and Piaggio in particular, has been flexing its muscles as of late.
