The Piaggio Ape Xtra CV was initially available with 5 and 5.5 feet deck lengths. However, the new Ape Xtra LDX+ is the latest variant added to the CVs lineup, featuring a slightly larger deck length of 6 feet.

The small commercial vehicle comes powered by a 599cc diesel engine, mated to a five-speed gearbox. Piaggio claims that the new Ape Xtra LDX+ offers the best-in-class mileage, superior loadability, high torque and a smooth driving experience as compared to its rivals.

Diego Graffi, Chairman and MD, Piaggio Vehicles Private Ltd. said,

"Our new BSVI performance range has been a huge success in the market due to superior specs than competing products. Ape' Xtra LDX +, with longer deck size, will enable our customers to earn more and will further strengthen our position as a leader in the 3 wheeler cargo category."

Saju Nair, EVP and Head of Commercial Vehicle Business, Piaggio India Pvt Ltd. said,

"We are pleased to be launching the Ape' Xtra LDX + diesel cargo. Through market research, we saw the latent need of a longer deck product required by the customer to carry high volume loads with higher unit length."

"The more powerful 599 smart BSVI engine gave us an opportunity to develop this variant on our already proven diesel platform. We feel that the 6ft variant will especially be suitable for captive customers & e-commerce delivery businesses and will give stiff competition to 4Wh SCV cargo products."
