THE WORLD'S MOST VERSATILE COMMERCIAL VEHICLEFOR THE PAST SIX DECADESIts three wheels have plied the world's roads since the end of the Second World

War, carrying all sorts of cargo. Ape represents one of the most significant

chapters in the history of urban mobility and commercial transport. A one of a

kind vehicle which, with its unmistakable silhouette, has become a transport

icon. Ape is a part of Italian history, a product of the genius of the aeronauti-

cal engineer Corradino D’Ascanio and the far sighted vision of Enrico Piaggio.

Light, agile and versatile, it has evolved over the decades without losing its

unmistakable physiognomy, from the Ape A, created with the Italian post-war

reconstruction in full swing, which accompanied the nation through the eco-

nomic boom to the futuristic 5-wheeled Ape Pentarò from the 1960s and the

Ape Car, the undisputed queen of the 1970s. These were followed by the Ape

TM designed in 1982 by Giorgetto Giugiaro and today's versions, such as the

Ape Cross, which is dedicated to young users. The Ape's compact dimensions,

together with a turning circle of just 3.4 m, enable it to easily reach historical

city centres, narrow streets and places inaccessible to any other commercial

vehicle, without sacrificing a class beating payload capacity of up to an in-

credible 800 Kg! Reliable and economical, with a choice of petrol and diesel

engines from 50 to 422 cc, the Ape range includes versions with handlebar or

wheel steering catering for every possible professional application.

APE 50: MORE IN LESS SPACEApe 50 is the smallest and most versa-

tile range of commercial vehicles avail-

able today. Parking and accessibility are

centre streets. It can be driven with a

For its size and fuel economy, its payload

capacity is unrivalled (up to 200 Kg or

1.5 m3). With its easily accessible plat-

form, the generous space of the van ver-

sion and the young style of the Cross, Ape

I valori di attenzione e rispetto verso l’ambiente portano oggi alla nascita di una

versione a “impatto ambientale zero” di Ape Calessino. La propulsione elettrica è coadiuvata dall’innovativo sistema di

alimentazione Aenerbox con batterie a Ioni di Litio di ultima generazione.

Realizzato in soli 100 esemplari, l’Ape più “chic” di tutti i tempi è destinato a un cliente attento al design e allo stile “Made in Italy”.

Un oggetto estremamente funzionale ma anche da collezione, impreziosito da una

targhetta numerata che lo rende ancora più esclusivo.

Ape Calessino Electric Lithium riprende l’allestimento e l’eleganza della versione

con propulsione tradizionale. Cambia la livrea che, nella versione elettrica, abbina carrozzeria e parti in tela in una elegante

bicromia bianco/blu, combinazione cromatica ripresa anche negli interni che presentano la

selleria color crema con finiture in blu.

Ape Calessino Electric Lithium è il mezzo ideale per chiunque voglia distinguersi con originale eleganza e in totale armonia con

l’ambiente circostante.

Values of environmental awareness and respect have now led to the creation of a new zero environmental impact version of the Ape Calessino. The electric motor is powered by the innovative Aenerbox system with latest generation Lithium ion batteries.

Built in a series of just 100 examples, the most exclusive Ape of all time is destined for a design-conscious clientele that appreciates Italian style. But this is not just an extremely functional vehicle, it is also a true collector’s piece, as highlighted by the numbered plate making it even more exclusive.

Ape Calessino Electric Lithium offers the same features and elegance as the conventional engine version. The electric version gains its own unique livery, with an elegant blue and white two-tone colour scheme for the bodywork and canvas elements. The same two-tone scheme is echoed in the interior, with cream coloured upholstery trimmed with blue piping.

Ape Calessino Electric Lithium is the perfect vehicle for anyone who wants to stand out from the crowd with original elegance and in complete harmony with the surrounding environment.

Ha il fascino evocativo di certi assolati pomeriggi mediterranei, di profumi agrumati

e di gelsomini, del mare blu intenso delle baie più suggestive. Con il suo design Anni

Sessanta, fa rivivere lo charme indimenticabile della Dolce Vita.

Realizzato in soli 600 esemplari in tutto il mondo, Ape Calessino è un veicolo irrinunciabile per i collezionisti e gli

appassionati di design“made in Italy”, per riscoprire un gusto diverso di guidare e di

vivere il tempo libero.

La livrea è colorata in elegante e solare bianco “Arctic White”. Le quattro porte e la capote

sono realizzate in tela di un elegante colore bordeaux.

La linea simpaticamente retrò è esaltata dai pneumatici rifiniti con fascia bianca montati su cerchi cromati, dagli inserti in legno tropicale,

e dalle eleganti rifiniture “yachting style”.

It captures the atmosphere of sunny Mediterranean afternoons, the scents of citrus and jasmine, the deep blue sea of a beautiful bay. The lines of its sixties style design bring back the unforgettable charm of Dolce Vita.

Only 600 of these vehicles will be available in the world. The Ape Calessino is an essential for collectors and lovers of italian design, to rediscover the true satisfaction of driving and enjoying your leisure time.

The bodywork is in elegant, brilliant “Arctic White”. The four doors and the roof are made from canvas and coloured an elegant bordeaux.

The cheeky vintage looks are emphasised by whitewall tyres mounted on chromed wheels, inserts in tropical wood and elegant “yachting style” trim details.
