Piaggio Vehicles Pvt Ltd introduced two diesel cargo three-wheelers, the Ape Xtra Bada 700 and ApeXtra 600, targeted at strengthening its last-mile mobility portfolio and meeting emerging commercial vehicle demand.
The Ape Xtra Bada 700 will come with a 7-ft cargo deck, which is claimed as the largest in its segment, and supports a payload of 750 kg, the highest for any cargo three-wheeler. It is powered by a 700 DI diesel engine with a new chassis, cabin, and digital instrument cluster. Other features include 12-inch radial tyres, improved suspension geometry, and an optional rear sensor for reversing assistance. These specifications target operators seeking higher productivity and efficient load management in urban and semi-urban logistics.
TheApeXtra 600 features a 600 DI diesel engine, which assures improved fuel efficiency, gradeability, and load-carrying performance. The Ape Xtra 600 is particularly aimed at intra-city deliveries and semi-urban logistics. It further consolidates Piaggio's position in the entry-level cargo segment.
Diego Graffi, Chairman & Managing Director of PVPL, said, "The Ape Xtra Bada 700 offers industry-first features in engine capacity, deck size, and payload. It will improve earnings and productivity for our commercial customers. Ape Xtra 600 further reinforces Piaggio's commitment to providing efficient, value-for-money mobility solutions to customers."
Amit Sagar, Executive Vice President, reinforced, "Cargo mobility needs are changing at a rapid pace, and operators need more power, payload, comfort, and performance. Ape Xtra Bada 700 does just that, with its rugged platform and multiple best-in-class features, offering customers an affordable alternative to entry-level four-wheel cargo vehicles. The Ape Xtra 600 further complements our range of diesel cargo products with enhanced performance and reliability, thereby strengthening our position in the three-wheeler segment."
Both models will be available from November 2025 at ₹3.45 lakh for the Ape Xtra Bada 700 and ₹2.88 lakh for the Ape Xtra 600, ex-showroom, Maharashtra.
