Innocenti Lambro

The Lambro was a three-wheeled light commercial vehicle built by Innocenti of Milan, the firm that also made the Lambretta motor scooters, and it was developed from the scooter's mechanics. The first model carried its load ahead of the driver, and from the FD onward the load area sat behind the driver. Later versions were bigger and more car-like, with the 600 range able to carry loads of 600 kg and the 600 M offering scooter-style handlebars for riders who did not want to drive a car. Engines were Lambretta two-stroke units, from about 123 cc in the early 125 models to 198 cc in the 550 and 600 series. Innocenti built the Lambro until it stopped production in January 1972, after which the Indian government bought the Milan machinery and Scooters India Limited carried on building the three-wheeler as the Vikram.
