In an international premiere at the Ecomondo fair in Rimini, Italy, Piaggio Group (PIA.MI) introduced the new Porter NPE, the first fully electric city truck designed to meet the growing demands of eco-friendly urban transportation.

Introducing the Piaggio Porter NPE: The Future of Urban Electric Mobility

The Porter NPE is Piaggio Group's latest innovation in electric commercial vehicles, extending its range with two new four-wheel electric models specifically designed for intra-city mobility. The electric city truck features a combination of compact dimensions, a remarkable payload capacity of at least one tonne, and zero-emissions power, making it ideal for goods deliveries in urban environments, particularly in areas with restricted access for traditional vehicles.

Key Features of the New Electric Porter Truck

Manufactured in Italy at the Piaggio Group's Pontedera factory, the Porter NPE is designed to meet the needs of businesses looking for a compact and efficient solution for urban deliveries. The truck's high-performance electric motor allows for a top speed of 90 km/h, while its range of over 250 km (pending final type-approval) makes it an excellent option for short-to-medium distance trips.

The Porter NPE electric truck offers a high payload capacity of up to 1,055 kg, enabling businesses to transport goods efficiently without compromising on performance. It combines agility, ease of use, and compactness with the ability to carry significant loads, a key advantage for city-based logistics.

Advanced Safety and Cybersecurity Features

Safety and security are top priorities for Piaggio Group, and the new Porter NPE is equipped with cutting-edge cybersecurity solutions as well as advanced safety systems. These include both active and passive vehicle safety systems to ensure the utmost protection for drivers and cargo. Additionally, the new electric city truck features advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) that enhance overall driving safety and comfort, ensuring a secure driving experience on busy urban roads.

Electric Drive Unit: Powering the Future of Commercial Vehicles

The heart of the Porter NPE is its innovative Electric Drive Unit (EDU). This compact system integrates the electric motor, inverter, and transmission into a highly efficient unit, delivering top-tier performance while minimizing weight and optimizing the electric and cooling circuits. The result is an electric vehicle that provides consistent performance and maximum efficiency, even over extended periods of use.

Piaggio's Commitment to Eco-Friendly Urban Transportation

The Porter NPE is a key step in Piaggio Group's ongoing commitment to sustainable mobility and eco-friendly urban transportation solutions. With its zero-emissions engine, the new electric city truck helps businesses reduce their carbon footprint while improving the efficiency of goods delivery in congested urban areas.

Manufactured in Italy and distributed through a specialized network of commercial vehicle dealers across Europe, the Porter NPE is part of Piaggio Group's broader strategy to promote green transportation and meet the growing demand for electric vehicles in the commercial sector.
