Piaggio Three-Wheeler Range Already Compliant With New BSVI Emission Norms

The Piaggio Group said it already has begun production in India of three-wheel vehicles compliant with the new Bharat Stage VI emissions norms. With this, Piaggio becomes the first three-wheeler maker in India to have upgraded its entire range to the new standards. The diesel models feature a completely new power pack, a 599cc engine, a 5-speed gearbox, and a new aluminum clutch. The upgraded cargo range comes with a larger cabin, while the passenger range has new safety doors for commuters. The alternative fuel range is equipped with one of the most advanced drive-trains in the industry and a hi-tech 230cc 3-valve engine.[gallery size="full" ids="14695,14696"]The Piaggio Group has always paid special attention to product engineering in order to minimize emissions, a policy that has enabled it to comply with the new laws ahead of time without the risk of fall-outs on its production and sales.
