Speaking at the opening, Stefano Pelle said: “It is a proud moment for the Piaggio Group to bring our flagship store to Chennai, our third in India and second in the south of the country. Motoplex as a concept offers the experience of Italian biking under one roof along with an exciting overview of the two-wheeler world, reflecting the innovative vision of the Piaggio Group. The store not only showcases the longstanding history of our brands – Vespa, Aprilia and Moto Guzzi – but also highlights their fascinating journey that proudly stands for Made in Italy.”

He added, “With the display of various brands from the Piaggio Group, the Motoplex store aims to achieve the same success it has had internationally. Chennai as a two-wheeler market has always been of strategic importance to us and it was a logical move to bring this concept store to this city.”
