Piaggio to launch Vespa scooter next month
Sassy reds, flashy blues and glittering yellows, Vespa scooters are all set to vroom onto Indian roads.
The Vespa will be retailed through a new set of Vespa dealerships, with 50 of them coming across India. With its Indian foray, Piaggio intends to create an exclusive, premium segment for the brand.
The Vespa will be positioned as a lifestyle, iconic, timeless and ageless product that goes beyond mobility and leverages its heritage and unique values.
Vespa in India will meet the aspirational needs of the fashion, style and brand conscious individuals who would like to be a breed apart.
Predominantly aimed all over the world at a premium segment of consumers who are looking to own nothing but the best, Vespa will be a disruptive force in the 2-wheeler segment in India.
Vespa enthusiasts in India will have a reason to cheer as later this year the country will have its own Vespa Club that will enable them to be a part of an exclusive fraternity.
In 2006, the Vespa World Club was formed that brought together 35 National Vespa club Federations and 685 Vespa clubs in the world.
Unveiling the Vespa at the Auto Expo, Mr. Ravi Chopra, Chairman and Managing Director, Piaggio Vehicles Pvt. Ltd. said, “Our foray into the Indian market activates a whole new segment of style and fashion conscious consumers who are looking for a premium, exclusive, lifestyle offering reflecting their personalities and attitudes. We would like to leverage this sizeable untapped market segment that shows tremendous potential for growth in the coming years”.
Piaggio India has set up a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility at Baramati for the production of the Vespa.
The plant has an initial capacity of 150,000. The Vespa will hit Indian roads in April 2012 and will initially be available in 35 main cities.
Vespa is a unique example of immortal design that has gone beyond a mere commuting product to become a part of social history and way of life
The Vespa is an ageless brand that is now a symbol of a distinctive lifestyle in market after market around the world.
Invented by Piaggio in 1946 as the world’s first scooter, the Vespa rose rapidly in popularity to become a loved and revered emblem of ‘made in Italy’ and ‘a new, unique way of enjoying mobility’.
The Vespa is being positioned as a life-style product and thus the all the dealerships will be universal in design across the country. These dealerships will not retail the Aprilia superbikes.
The dealerships will also offer a range of Vespa branded accessories including riding gear.

After years of predictions that the "$1,000 genome" - a read-out of a person's complete genetic information for about the cost of a dental crown - was just around the corner, a U.S. company is announcing January 10, 2012 that it has achieved that milestone and taken the technology several steps ahead. The new genome-sequencing machine is 1,000 times more powerful than existing technology, says Rothberg
