Autoitalia Philippines Enterprises Inc. (APE Inc.), the official distributor of the Piaggio Ape commercial vehicles in the country, recently launched two of Piaggio’s Cargo Solutions: the Piaggio APÉ 3-wheeler and the Piaggio Porter 1000.




Customization Beyond Imagination 

The Piaggio APÉ 3-wheeler has 3 new models, namely: the Piaggio Apé Auto DX, Apé Xtra LDX, and Piaggio Apé Auto DAC.

The APÉ 3-wheeler is specifically designed for hauling cargo over narrow, crowded streets, with a footprint that measures 3144 mm x 1490 mm and carry load of 435-600 kg. The APÉ 3-wheeler is equipped with a single-cylinder, naturally aspirated, direct injection, 4-stroke, 435cc diesel engine—the smallest in the world.

With a highly efficient rate of consumption—36-kilometers per liter on primary and secondary roads—it’s cost-effective and easy to maintain. It’s also Euro-4 compliant and classified as a non-polluting vehicle, even when carrying its maximum capacity, lessening its impact on the environment.

APÉ 3-wheeler is highly customizable which can be configured for basically anything—Drive Away Chassis, City, Passenger, Long Deck, Closed Van, and 3-Wing Van—allowing it to adapt to whatever transport you need.

The Piaggio Apé Auto DX is priced at P218,000, Apé Xtra LDX at P248,000, and Apé Auto DAC at P218,000.

A Compact 4-Wheeler (Piaggio Porter 1000)

Meet the Piaggio Porter 1000. This compact 4-wheeler combines the toughness of a truck with the size of a city car, making it a handy solution for cargo while efficiently using space. Coupled with the ease maintaining a small vehicle, the Porter gives you the option to carry larger loads while avoiding the costs of a full-scale truck.

The Porter’s front engine and rear wheel drive allow it to maximize its load capacity, letting you carry a little over a ton in cargo. With its 185 mm ground clearance, it can handle most terrain with ease.
