The company has announced the extension of warranty and free service period for its ‘Apé’ vehicle owners
In the wake of the global corona virus pandemic which has been spreading across the country, Piaggio Vehicles (P) Ltd. (PVPL), a 100% subsidiary of the Italian Piaggio Group, European leader of the two-wheeler sector and India’s leading manufacturer of small commercial vehicles, has announced the extension of warranty and free service period for its small commercial vehicle customers. The company has extended a two-month extension for both warranty and free service periods for vehicles whose warranty and free services expire between March 1 and May 3.
Apart from the warranty and service period extension, all the vehicles of PVPL customers will be sanitised free of cost within 15 days after the lockdown is over. Service of free sanitisation can be availed at all the authorised PVPL workshops. Customers can also contact the dealerships for any support after the lockdown is over. Commenting on the announcement, Diego Graffi, Managing Director and CEO of Piaggio Vehicles, said, “In these unprecedented times we understand that the country is going through difficult times. At Piaggio, we believe in providing the best services and solutions to our customers and stand with them during this pandemic.”
“We stand committed to our ‘Apé’ customers because even during the lockdown some of them are transporting essential commodities in order to support the community. To support them in turn, we decided to extend both free services and warranty by two months. After this announcement our customers will be at ease during the lockdown time and can avail our services seamlessly post the lockdown,” he added. PVPL commenced operations in India in 1999 with the launch of the three-wheeler brand Apé, which was an immediate success and has grown from strength to strength over the years.
