This prestigious recognition comes just a few months after Piaggio Fast Forward received the Disruptive Genius – Company award at the 2017 MITX Awards for distinction in “unconventional innovative thinking, being the first to explore new frontiers and promoting the innovation economy through its operations”.

Piaggio Fast Forward presented its first innovative projects, GITA and KILO, in Boston in February 2017. The two smart vehicles can move independently and are designed to improve mobility productivity in today’s increasingly complex urban environments. They observe, communicate and provide assistance, with a payload of up to 100 kg and a range of 20 km in an urban setting. They can accompany a person, map the surrounding environment and check moving objects around them.

The GITA and KILO revolution lies in the support the devices will be able to provide for people as they move around in their daily lives, extending their range of action. They are conceived as a mobility platform that can be personalised and enhanced to meet a variety of needs in multiple scenarios.
