THE PIAGGIO GROUP IS JOINING FORCES WITH (RED) IN THE FIGHT AGAINST AIDS
A collaborative partnership between the Piaggio Group and (RED) has created the (VESPA 946)RED – an all-red version of the classic scooter, sales of which will go towards initiatives fighting AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria.
The (VESPA 946)RED has been designed with elegance and style in order to show sensitivity to this serious problem. It symbolises the chance to join the battle against some of the most difficult illnesses humankind has to face.
For each (VESPA 946)RED sold, $150 will be donated to the Global Fund and the fight against AIDS. This valuable and substantial donation will enable (RED) to guarantee over 500 days' worth of life-saving medical treatments for HIV and help prevent mothers infected with the virus from passing it on to their unborn children.
As per Vespa tradition, the bodywork is made of steel – on the (VESPA 946)RED this has been embellished with eye-catching aluminium components such as the mudguard and the side covers, which also serve to house and support the engine, the transmission, and all the scooter's mechanical parts.
The beating heart of the (VESPA 946)RED is a 125 cc single-cylinder four-stroke engine with three valves, which is air-cooled and has an electronic injection system. This ultra-modern engine consumes minimal fuel, makes very little noise and boasts exceptionally low emissions levels.
