Time to go Ape
Perodua UK intends to build on the success of its micro-panel van, the Piaggio Porter, and launch its arguably iconic sister; the Piaggio Ape. The unmistakable 3-wheeler is marketed under the terms “quirky,” “unique” and “nimble” – perhaps not the most traditional USPs but certainly appropriate.
The Ape will be available in a number of guises including as a panel van, pickup and tipper. More strange is Piaggio’s offering of a “Web” and “Cross Country” variations; a flat-bed and roll-bar clad pickup respectively.
Piaggio will use their 218cc petrol and 422cc diesel engines across the range so drivers can expect unrivalled fuel economy and cheap insurance.
In true Piaggio fashion, the Piaggio Ape will be a very cheap van. If you’re interested in the micro-three-wheeler, give Vansdirect.co.uk a call on 0845 021 0444. Vansdirect.co.uk is the UK’s largest independent retailer of commercial vehicles and the proud sponsor of Cardiff City Football Club.
