Piaggio Group Announces its Vespa Elettrica Electric Scooters of 2017 – Electric Scooter
PIAGGIO GROUP is taking a bigger leap in 2017 with its new line of electric scooters and the new concept called the Vespa Elettrica. The company, which has gained a strong position in the European market, is set to take a bigger chunk of the marker share. In September 2016, the company has already conquered 15.5 % of the market share which makes it the leader in the two-wheel vehicle segment in the entire Europe. From January to the last month of the third quarter, Piaggio has sold over 411,000 vehicles and has exceeded a staggering turnover of more than one billion Euros. The sales have jumped by 3.9 % and are expected to take a bigger increase once its line of Vespa Elettrica electric scooters will be put out to the marker next year.
The massive increase of Vespa scooters has been accounted to the spike in the sales within its high wheel segment and the introduction of Vespa models called the Beverly, and the Piaggio Liberty, and the Medley ABS. The latest addition of the Medley ABS has also helped the group to grow within the European market. With its scooter segment doing very well, much is expected from the Vespa Elettrica or the Vespa electric scooters.
The motorcycle segment of Piaggio is also doing well with the boost in the sales of its Moto Guzzi. The sales have skyrocketed by 8%, which is relatively higher than in the previous years. The boost in sales is also accounted for the initial sales of its MGX-21 and the V9 Roamer. Another motorcycle called the Aprilia also registered an impressive sales increase of up to 43.4% alongside the Tuono V4. The question now is – will the new Vespa electric scooters be able to contribute the growing sales of Piaggio vehicles? The response to the unveiling and the next two years will be crucial in determining its growth and acceptance.
