Vespa Elettrica and 946 RED
It was first to
launch a hybrid Vespa scooter, and it was only a matter of time until the Vespa
Elettrica project got born.
The production Vespa Elettrica scooter is said to
arrive in dealerships sometime in the second half of 2017. The Piaggio Group is
currently assessing the most advanced players in the sector on a global level
to develop innovative technological electric motor solutions together, reason
why the project isn’t ready.
The company will continue to
make gasoline-powered versions as well. The whole range has been updated for
2017, coming in new colors and being fitted with retuned engines to meet Euro 4
standards.
An interesting new model in the range is the Vespa
946 (RED), as the name tells, it’s an all-red version of the classic
scooter. The new model has been designed with elegance and style to raise
awareness of this serious problem. It provides the chance to join the battle
against some of the most difficult diseases mankind must face.
The revenue generated by the RED scooter will go
towards initiatives fighting AIDS, tuberculosis, and malaria.
