Piaggio Quargo

The Piaggio Quargo is a commercial vehicle produced by Piaggio from 2004 to 2016 and belonging to the category of heavy quadricycles, designed to replace the Ape Poker. It was made on the same base as the Piaggio Porter, from which it took its mechanical layout and part of the bodywork such as the doors. It has a transverse, rear-mounted Lombardini 686 cm3 twin-cylinder diesel engine of 13 kW, about 18 hp. As a light quadricycle it could be driven with a B1 licence, and it was available as a pick-up, a tipper pick-up, a van and a curtainside with a payload of up to 750 kg. An updated version in 2007 had front disc brakes. Production ended at the end of 2016 because the Quargo was not adjusted to the Euro 4 anti-pollution rules for quadricycles.
