The Piaggio Group will be at EICMA 2016 with a turnover in the first nine months of 2016 that exceeds one billion Euros (1,031.7 million Euros, +2.9% year on year) and 411,700 vehicles sold all over the world from January to September of this year, up 3.9%.
OFFICIAL VIDEO – CORPORATE PIAGGIO GROUPThe Group led by Roberto Colaninno has registered increasing profits in the first nine months of 2016, particularly in the “high wheel” segment, thanks to the new Piaggio Liberty, the Beverly and the new Piaggio Medley ABS (that entered the market segment to increase the share for the Group's vehicles), whereas the Vespa brand has grown particularly in the European market, where it has registered +3.6%. The Group's motorcycle sector is also doing well, thanks to the 8% sales increase for Moto Guzzi (partly generated by the new V9 Roamer and Bobber and the initial sales of the MGX-21), and Aprilia, particularly the super sport bikes in the Tuono V4 family, that have registered a 43.4% increase.
