Context
[edit]Made on the same base as the Piaggio Porter, from which it takes up the mechanical layout and part of the bodywork like the doors, the Quargo is equipped with a transverse, rear mounted diesel engine 686 twin cm³ Lombardini from 13 kW (about 18 hp).
It consists of a light quadricycle that requires the driving license B1 to be driven (it could also be driven by those who have the previous A1 and category A sub-licenses, if obtained by January 18, 2013) available in versions pick-up, tipper pick-up, van and curtainseat, with payload up to 750 kg depending on version. In 2007, the updated version was presented, with disc brakes on the front wheels and oversized oil sump.[2]
Production ended at the end of 2016 as, with the entry into force of the anti-pollution regulations Euro 4 for quadricycles, the Quargo was not adjusted.
