THE WORLD'S MOST VERSATILE COMMERCIAL VEHICLE FOR THE PAST SIX DECADES
Its three wheels have plied the world's roads since the end of the Second World War, carrying all sorts of cargo. Ape represents one of the most significant chapters in the history of urban mobility and commercial transport. A one of a kind vehicle which, with its unmistakable silhouette, has become a transport icon. Ape is a part of Italian history, a product of the genius of the aeronautical engineer Corradino DAscanio and the far sighted vision of Enrico Piaggio. Light, agile and versatile, it has evolved over the decades without losing its unmistakable physiognomy, from the Ape A, created with the Italian post-war reconstruction in full swing, which accompanied the nation through the economic boom to the futuristic 5-wheeled Ape Pentar from the 1960s and the Ape Car, the undisputed queen of the 1970s. These were followed by the Ape TM designed in 1982 by Giorgetto Giugiaro and today's versions, such as the Ape Cross, which is dedicated to young users. The Ape's compact dimensions, together with a turning circle of just 3.4 m, enable it to easily reach historical city centres, narrow streets and places inaccessible to any other commercial vehicle, without sacrificing a class beating payload capacity of up to an incredible 800 Kg! Reliable and economical, with a choice of petrol and diesel engines from 50 to 422 cc, the Ape range includes versions with handlebar or wheel steering catering for every possible professional application.
