Italian two-wheeler manufacturer Piaggio is all set to launch a new scooter model named as Vespa RED on October 3, 2017, in the Indian market.
Vespa has joined hands with an organisation called as RED, to help people suffering from tuberculosis, AIDS, and malaria. So, the buyer of this particular model will support the cause.
