Vespa History







Vespa is a brand scooter from Italy. Vespa was established on 23 April 1946 in Florence under the parent company Piaggio & Co.. SpA , based in Pontedera Italy. Piaggio is the company's largest two-wheeler manufacturer in Europe and the world's fourth largest in terms of the sales side.
Since the beginning of production, Vespa scooters have been known for its strong inherent paint, motor body made of pressed steel, which have an aesthetic engine cover (which also can hide the mechanism of the machine or grease or dirt), flat footrest board (which provides protection feet), and structural as well as the front shield protect the rider from wind and water from the front. No doubt, the first Vespa scooter is a global success.

Design inspiration Vespa (and Lambretta) is considered taken from a scooter made ​​in Nebraska, United namely scooters Cushman Airborne A53 olive green (it later became Cushman Vespa factory under license) that before PD2 many wandering in Italy as an American military transport as a tactic of war NAZI when it is destroyed roads and bridges in the Dolomites (regional sector Alps ) and
the Austrian border.

In World War I and II, the predecessor company Vespa (Piaggio) focused on production bombers. Perhaps that is the reason why Pontedera becomes the target and eventually destroyed by Allied bombs. Italian economy was crippled and roads were destroyed at that time did not support the rebuilding of the car market. Enrico Piaggio , son of founder Rinaldo Piaggio, decided to leave the field of aviation in order to address the urgent need for Italy to modern means of transport but quite affordable by the people.

Enrico Piaggio through his factory in Biella actually been producing motor-scooter (1943-1944). This prototype is designed by Renzo Spolti Piaggio engineers with Vittorio Casini and coded MP5 (Moto Piaggio 5), which then by the workers named "Paperino" which means "Donald Duck". Enrico Piaggio did not like this design then ask the engineer Corradino D'Ascanio to review and redesign the project is something different, with technical development and model. Although it does not like, but 100 units have been produced Paperino now only owned by collectors (one of which was in Indonesia).

(Paperino Specifications: Two stroke, single cylinder, Bore 50 mm Stroke 50 mm, 98 cc capacity, Girbox continuous speed-variator, Transmission chain or Cardan, Top speed 60 km / h, 2 pipe sprung suspension, drum brakes, Tire 4:00 -10)

Aeronautical engineer Corradino D'Ascanio (joined Piaggio in 1934) is in charge of re-designing the previously responsible for the design, construction, and flew the first modern helicopter Agusta. D'Ascanio had previously been consulted by Ferdinando Innocenti to design vehicles that are simple, robust, and affordable, easy to drive men and women, can accommodate a passenger, and not make the rider dirty clothes (then out the first Lambretta). Because one thing, D'Ascanio troubled by Innocenti then submit the design to Enrico Piaggio.
D'Ascanio to design a simple, economical, comfortable and elegant. D'Ascanio was dreaming of a revolutionary new vehicle because he himself is actually hate and can not ride two-wheeled motorcycle because he considered heavy, dirty, and not tough. So he took a picture of his expertise in the field of aircraft technology. He imagined a vehicle built with a "monocoque" or unibody steel chassis. Front forks such as tires and landing aircraft that is easy for replacement tires. The result is a design inspired from the aircraft to date different from other vehicles.
In 1945, the year when Indonesia gained independence, the construction of an alternative is found. Initially in the form of a steel framed bike concept with rounded curves like a tunnel. Surprisingly, it turns out the staternya designed using bomb components and wheels taken from aircraft wheels. In order to optimize the shape and the security of its users, the engineer designing the cover board on the front foot. The project is led directly by Corradino D'Ascanio that patents were soon to their pocket.
In 1946, the prototype was finished scooter with the MP 6 (Moto Piaggio 6). When Enrico Piaggio saw the boz MP6 prototype, he accidentally called out "Una Sambra Vespa" (looks like a wasp). Finally the call by accident, it was decided the vehicle is given the name "Vespa" (= wasp). Vespa according to the language of Latin and Italian are meant wasps.
On April 23, 1946, at 12 in the central office for inventions, models and manufacture of the Ministry of Industry and Trade ( Ministry of Industry and Commerce ) in Florence , Piaggio e CSpA took out a patent for "a motorcycle that is complex, and the rational elements, which coupled with a frame that has a shield mud, and casing that covers all mechanical parts ". In December of the patent is approved. In the spring of 1946, thirteen samples MP6 first mass produced at the Piaggio factory in Pontedera, Italy emerged.

Following its public debut at the Milan Fair of 1946, the first fifty sold slowly, probably because the price for the upper segment as when first introduced into Indonesia. Vespa sales in 1947 some 2,500 units, more than 10,000 units in 1948, 35,000 units by the end of 1949, more than 60,000 units in 1950, and more than one million units in 1956 which proved that the form of 'wasp' is highly accepted by society at that time. In addition to Italy's success in becoming a pioneering form of motor ala 'wasp', the language of Italy is also getting a new vocabulary, ie "vespare" which means to go somewhere using a Vespa.
Between the 1960s through the 1970s, the Vespa has become a symbol of the revolution of ideas at that time. This product was absorbed by the market demand of France, Britain, Belgium, Spain, Brazil, and India - in addition to the domestic market this product is selling like hotcakes. In addition, India also produces the same type and form by taking the Bajaj engine. The type is and Bajaj Bajaj Super Deluxe. A number of parties then filed a joint application to create a Vespa.
In 1950 comes the German-made Vespa 125 cc. At that time many other countries are trying to make a similar product, but it turns out they were not the least able to compete with Piaggio. Among the competitors is the Lambretta, Heinkel, Zundapp and NSU. For the people of Indonesia, the Lambretta products and Zundapp, was popular in the era of the 1960s. One thinks that the fanaticism of the Vespa was posed by the basic characteristic of this motor is always maintained at each subsequent product. Even when they spelled out a "revolution" in the form of new products, the Vespa 150 GS, distinctiveness voluptuous ass still feels attached.

GS 150 at the time the product is so popular that almost always appear in every film of the 1960s. At that time the Vespa was known as Vespamore (in Indonesia known as the Vespa Ndog / eggs or Vespa Congo). Steering and spotlights this series began to be made together and form his ass really still rounded that became his trademark.
Vespa outline is divided in two sizes, "largeframe" and "smallframe". Vespa smallframe version consists of 50 cc, 90 cc, 100 cc and 125 cc. All engines are derived from 50 cc model 1963. Vespa largeframe in 125 cc, 150 cc, 160 cc, 180 cc and 200 cc engines derived from the 125 cc engine, redesigned the production end of the 1950s. Largeframe Vespa evolved into the PX in the late 1970s and produced a version of the 125 cc and 150 cc until July 2007. Smallframe evolved into the PK in the early 1980s.
And the story continues today with a new generation of Vespa models by offering Vespa ET2, Vespa ET4, Vespa Grand Turismo and the Vespa PX 150. Vespa is not just a scooter, but became one of the icons of the people of Italy.

VESPA GERMANY
Hoffmann Vespa
In 1950 the Vespa was made under license by Hoffmann in Lintorf factory. So-called "Hoffmann"-Vespa provided with shift-stick and then with a cable-controlled gear changes. In 1954 the model "Königin" (queen) was introduced with the light-fenders and lights on the handlebar. Machine parts and body parts are most synonymous with fender-light models italian.
Jacob Oswald Hoffmann is the owner of a bicycle factory in Lintorf, a city located in the North, Dusseldorf. He built his own factory by buying a plot of land upon which had stood for a former factory building shovel / hoe after the end of the war. Some time in early 1949 he found a few photos snapped by reporters Vespa is above the desk. From here there are fundamental differences, and Hoffman find out more about the object image.
The opportunity came when at the Frankfurt Show, where Hoffmann and the Vespa meet in person for the first time. From there then Hoffmann's desire to build Vespa factory in Lintorf. He then submitted to the Piaggio to build Vespa granted licenses for the German market.
Piaggio strongly supports the request Hoffmann. They then see directly is likely to Vespa market in Germany and found that the Vespa can be accepted by the German market. The next step is they make the approach to some importers, but the importers are not interested. The delay is minimized to speed up the signing of cooperation agreement between them and start Hoffmann as the owner of a major license for the product to the entire West German Vespa also partly Vespa market in the country's northern part and the right to export to the Netherlands, Belgium and Denmark. Accountability for sales to the country's southern region is handled by Vespa Marketing GmbH in Frankfurt. In 1950, Hoffmann Vespa was manufactured in Germany.
The Vespa was rapidly gaining popularity in Germany, lifting the mass media as an innovative product and Piaggio's top stylists and praised his creations in the form of two-wheeled transport vehicles which are very interesting. In 1953, Hoffmann plant has produced more than 400 units per week Vespa. However, enter the following years the production rate decreased by half. Under conditions of the German economy is unfavorable, Hoffmann believes the solution is to keep on track the competition and he took the initiative to create a Vespa with better performance.
Later (in 1954) he created the Vespa as a model "Königin" (queen) who look dashing with the added touch of chrome and headlights and so forth. Konigin development cost was very expensive, and endanger the financial condition of Hoffmann. Making scooters Other new types of cooperation between Hoffmann also made by Piaggio disconnected, beginning in 1955 entered the joint venture the two broke up.

Vespa Messerschmitt
Piaggio then a relationship with Messerschmitt Co.., Which then issued a production of the first Vespa in 1955. They released two models of 150 Touren 1-2 and GS 1-3 which claimed more awesome. T1 and T2 have 10 inch tires and is the first 150 machines. T2 has a control cable open / visible outside. GS1 similar to T2 with open control cables and tires 10 inch enclosed type. Only available in silver (except models exported to the UK). They also provide after sales service and spare parts for Vespa production of Hoffmann. This cooperation continued until late 1957.
Vespa GmbH Augsburg
After that stood Vespa Augsburg GmbH, a joint venture between Piaggio and Martial Fane Organisation, this joint venture and also provide some parts for Vespa Messerschmitt. Both models are made when kongsian with Messerschmitt (150 Touren and GS) and then developed with some modifications. In addition Vespa GmbH Augsburg also gave birth to 125 cc Vespa was first introduced in 1958. Products include Vespa Augsburg-2125 T1, T3-4150, GL, Sprint, GS4. T3 has a control cable and closed like the GS3 has a 10-inch wheels. German special model 125 T1 and T2 has 8-inch tires and 150 T4 has a 10 inch tire very similar to the Italian model VNA-VBB. The side panels on the Italian model was less attention. Electricity converted from AC to DC and provide opportunities to put the P-series machines in this order. GS3 GS4 is the successor of the still traditional. This model is only white in color and converted to AC electrical system without a DC battery with battery. They also did the same to the GL and later Sprint models are built in parallel. Indicator mounted on the side panel while the switch, horn, and the type reting not changed. Production continued until 1963, which is the peak current scooter and production changes that are not too many. In Germany it goes Vespa then import directly from Italy.
