NAZA Group of Companies Joint Group Chairman Datuk Wira Hj SM Faisal Tan Sri SM Nasimuddin expressed his excitement over the re-introduction of the Vespa brand in Malaysia.
“I am very excited with the re-introduction of the Vespa brand in Malaysia. NAZA is proud to represent Vespa and we look forward to re-establishing this classic premium brand in the Malaysian market. In order to do that, we have begun developing nationwide dealerships and service networks to make the brand more visible as well as to offer support to our customers. As with our other brands, we are also offering our customers a complete Vespa lifestyle experience,” he said.
“Our aim is to make Vespa as the best seller for premium scooter. Up till June 2011 we have already sold 400 units of Vespa and on target to sell between 800 and 1000 units before the end of the year,” Datuk Wira Hj SM Faisal added.
At the Vespa showroom launch, NAZA Premira unveiled its latest model of Piaggio Liberty 150 cc. Liberty comes with 150 cc engine, 15 inch tyres and a 7-liter tank. The Liberty 150 cc is a mass market scooter that will attract riders from all ages. The new lighthouse on the handlebar and a highly protective shield enrich the front. To ensure maximum ease of use, the Liberty already has a rear rack and removable footrests, offering greater capacity to transport objects with practical flat platform. The underseat storage compartment can accommodate a helmet and further space can be found in the rear shield. The seat has also been lowered and lengthened to provide more comfort for the passenger. The Liberty 150 cc is the perfect answer to city riding. The selling price of the Liberty 150 cc is estimated at not more than RM10,000 and will be available for sale from September 2011.
