About Vespa
Born in 1946, Vespa (which means “wasp” in Italian) was Piaggio’s answer to the need of a low cost ‘two wheel car’ product for the masses.
In 1960, after only 14 years of life, Vespa sales reached 2 million vehicles and, in 1988, reached 10 million vehicles.
In 2016 Vespa celebrates its 70th birthday with over 18 million vehicles sold worldwide.
Throughout the decades, Vespa has become an interpreter and an expression of the society in which it lives and a symbol of Innovation, Performance and Italian Creativity.
Vespa is an iconic, functional and beautiful MADE IN ITALY product, appreciated all over the world and that year by year wrote the history of global mobility; the brand’s timeless style and technical format make its products something unique and inimitable, combining rational, functional and emotional elements in its scooters and being recognised all over the world as the classy and irreverent side of light mobility. http://www.vespa.com
