 Piaggio Ape

The Piaggio Ape (; Italian for 'bee'), is a three-wheeled light commercial vehicle, manufactured and marketed by Piaggio as an adaption of the company's Vespa scooter — in continuous production since its 1948 introduction and offered in numerous body configurations to serve a wide range of utilitarian functions.Initially marketed as the "VespaCar" or "TriVespa", Piaggio subsequently marketed the utility vehicle as the "Ape" — derived from the Italian for "bee"; its scooter marketed as the Vespa, meaning "wasp."
