15.02.2009 PIAGGIO PORTER SEES GROWTH IN TOUGH MARKET

PIAGGIO PORTER ELECTRIC

The multi award winning Piaggio Porter light commercial vehicle range has remained strong in a tough market in the UK as January registrations were up 18.18 percent compared to last year. Piaggio has seen an exciting result and is one of very few manufacturers to see growth in the light commercial vehicle market, which as a whole is down 47.3 percent on last year.

Available in a number of body types, incuding Van, Pick Up, Big Deck, Tipper, MPV or Chassis, the versatile Piaggio Porter range is ideal for a myriad of business needs and has won the What Van? Microvan of the Year award for five consecutive years. Powerplants include petrol and diesel engines as well as an electric option.

With prices starting from as little as £6,195 in the UK it’s easy to see why the Piaggio Porter range, which is available in petrol in both 2 wheel and 4 wheel drive along with the zero emission electric version, has proven to be so popular in a difficult market. The UK price excludes delivery (£150 mainland), VAT, road fund licence (£180 for 12 months) and first registration fee (£55).
