With three top awards and numerous commendations from previous years to its name, the Piaggio Porter range has consistently achieved recognition by What Van? as a class-leading brand that just keeps getting better. One of the key appeals mentioned by the judges over the years has been the sheer diversity of the range, which includes a Panel Van, MPV, Tipper, Big Deck, Pick-Up and Chassis, with payload capacities ranging from 560kg to 685kg and more than 50 specialist bodywork variations. This diversity will increase even further early next year when a 4x4 version will become available from March.

Although the Porter Pick-up is diminutive in stature, its microvan-size belies the vehicle's strength and practical capabilities. Built on a sturdy, steel frame chassis, the Pick-up boasts an up-rated suspension which increases its payload to a remarkable 680kg, well above the average for a truck of this size.

Tim Slaughter, Managing Director for Piaggio LTV, says: - "We are delighted to report that Piaggio Porter is going from strength to strength since we took over distribution earlier this year. Receiving this prestigious accolade from What Van? once again only goes to prove the value and quality of the Porter range."
