Piaggio Fast Forward (PFF), the Piaggio Group robotics and future mobility company based in Boston, expanded its product portfolio with the addition of gitamini®, a new robot that condenses the technology and functions of gita®, its revolutionary "big brother", in a lighter, more compact design.

Gita® and gitamini® are made in the Piaggio Fast Forward plant in Boston's Charlestown district. The first marketing phase for the robots focuses on the US market, where the circulation of robots on city streets is already regulated.

PFF moved ahead with a series of pilot programs, together with partners active in various business sectors, to test further applications for gita® in the travel, residential and retail sectors and in last-miledelivery. PFF also announced an agreement with Trimble, a Nasdaq-listed company, to develop robots and machines to follow humans and other devices in industrial applications.

PFF has designed and developed sensors with an innovative technology, which made their debut on the new Piaggio MP3 three-wheel scooter, to deliver unparalleled safety. Thanks to the integration of advanced rider assistance systems (ARAS), the new sensors play a vital role in accident prevention and rider protection.

Russia - Ukraine crisis

The Piaggio Group continues to pay close attention to developments in the Russia - Ukraine conflict, which has begun to trigger rises in the costs of raw materials and energy with significant repercussions for the world economy and the upturn in inflation, to contain which the Western central banks have decided to raise interest rates. The extreme geographical diversification of the Group's sales and procurements means that its exposure in the area of the conflict is substantially non-existent. As regards the indirect effects of the war, the Group has been affected by the price rises in energy, especially in its European factories, and in raw materials, which have been mitigated in part by agreements with its suppliers.

Outlook

The first nine months of 2022 was characterised by complex macroeconomic conditions, stemming essentially from developments in the Covid 19 pandemic and the Russia-Ukraine war. The conflict has created international geopolitical tensions, driving an increase in transportation costs, raw material prices and an exponential rise in energy costs.

Nevertheless, thanks to its unique brand portfolio, in the fourth quarter of 2022 Piaggio will proceed along its growth path with a constant focus on efficient and flexible management of its business and financial structure, confirming its planned investments in new products and new facilities and strengthening its commitment to ESG issues.
