At EICMA the first outcome of the collaboration between Vmoto and Pininfarina


Milan, November 8, 2022. On the opening day of the 79th edition of EICMA at the Milan-Rho exhibition centre, Vmoto Soco Group will officially present the first concept, result of an ambitious and innovative project initiated in #partnership with #pininfarina. Between the global Group listed on the Australian stock exchange, with a production capacity of more than 300,000 high-quality electric vehicles, and the Italian company founded in Turin in 1930, known throughout the world for its unmistakable #design, a collaboration has recently been agreed upon whose objective is to realize a cross-cutting programme designed for electric mobility.

Vmoto Soco Group through this #concept, ideally sculpted by the wind, has realized the vision of a new generation of electric vehicles; which also sets the guidelines for other sustainable mobility projects. This is the first step towards the realization of an idea never before explored by any manufacturer in the field of urban mobility. The search for maximum efficiency has indeed directed the designers towards solutions involving electronics, battery components, motor and weight reduction.

The intuition of #vmoto Soco Group was to add a valuable factor, i.e. a low aerodynamic drag coefficient that has positive incremental effects on the performance and driving range of an electric two-wheeled vehicle, identifying in #pininfarina the qualified partner able to share the challenge: to combine beauty and elegance with low aerodynamic resistance and to optimize the airflows.   A research, the latter, which also positively influences the stability of the motor’s performance, using the wind to control the temperature, therefore increasing the battery life.

Pininfarina has therefore realized the #concept design – characterized by an aerodynamic style and “wind-sculpted” shapes – aimed at increasing the performance of the two-wheeled electric vehicle. #pininfarina, a worldwide icon of Italian #design and style, has been working in the field of aerodynamics over 50 years thanks to its own wind tunnel, a leading technology for the entire sector. #pininfarina also worked on the creation of the stylistic personality by introducing some strongly characterising elements such as the lighting system that becomes a “lighting brand signature” taking up the V of the #vmoto brand. Finally, the introduction of an additional external battery, integrated in the shapes, increases the driving range of the vehicle and further distinguishes its aesthetic character by giving it a more motorcycling look.

“The growth and innovation program presented at EICMA 2021 with the worldwide launch of the new premium brand #vmoto aims to create tools for urban mobility, accessible to everyone and for all needs. The continuous improvement of our products’ performance, to facilitate the transition from traditional to electric mobility, is our priority. The need to introduce new aerodynamic concepts to the service and support of technologies already in use is necessary to achieve maximum performance. To succeed we needed to identify a partner of great experience and authoritative technical ability. The choice to entrust this project to #pininfarina was a natural one,” says Graziano Milone, President and CEO of #vmoto.

“It is such an honour for our company to start collaborating with #pininfarina. I am sure that Vmoto’s experience in the #design and development of electric vehicles together with the technical expertise and the introduction of new concepts coming from #automotive, which a partner like #pininfarina can share with us, will be a winning combination to realize products characterized by unique performance and #design. I look forward to seeing the new #vmoto Maxiscooter circulating on the streets around the world, which I hope will be the first project of a long collaboration”, says Charles Chen CEO of #vmoto.

“Vmoto is a Partner that can best understand the potential of combining #design and innovation, with a particular and original focus on aerodynamic research”, says Giuseppe Bonollo, SVP Sales and Marketing of #pininfarina. “Our natural predisposition for sustainable mobility solutions further fostered the synergy between our multidisciplinary skills and Vmoto’s strong experience in the development of high-quality electric vehicles. We worked together on a #concept that has the ambition to innovate two-wheeled electric mobility.”

Vmoto Soco Group’s aspiration to start a collaboration with a qualified partner, which has linked its name to some of the most beautiful and iconic cars (among others Ferrari and Maserati), matched Pininfarina’s desire to explore the two-wheelers sector, in addition to the various industries in which #pininfarina operates successfully. The result of this collaboration, which foresees further developments, will be previewed to professionals on November 8 and to the public from November 10 on.
