2 FOR THE LAST SIXTY YEARS, THE WORLD'S MOST VERSATILE COMMERCIAL VEHICLE Its three wheels have plied the world's roads since the end of the Second World War, carrying all sorts of cargo. The 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. The Ape is a part of Italian history, a product of the genius of the aeronautical engineer Corradino D Ascanio 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 Pentarò of the early 1960's and the Ape Car, the undisputed queen of the 1970's. 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 radius of just 3.4 (3.00 m for the Ape 50 model), enable it to easily reach historical city centres, narrow streets and places inaccessible to any other commercial vehicle, without sacrificing a class beating load capacity of up to an incredible 800 Kg! Reliable and economical, thanks to petrol engines from 50 to 218cc, the Ape range includes versions with handlebar or wheel steering catering for every possible professional application.
