Italy was badly affected at the end of World War II.

The people lacked means of transport or the financial means to acquire and maintain full-sized four-wheeled vehicles.

So in 1947, the inventor of the Vespa, came up with the idea of building a light three-wheeled commercial vehicle to power Italy's economical reconstruction

The very first Ape model was mechanically a Vespa with two wheels added to the rear, with a flat-bed structure on top of the rear axle. It has been in continuous production since then.

And did you know that the name Ape refers to the work ethic of this vehicle - as "ape" in Italian means "bee".
