By Amit Jangra | Published Date : March 14, 2026

Piaggio Vehicles received an order for over 100 Ape Xtra Bada 700 cargo three-wheelers from HeidelbergCement India Limited to support goods transport across several districts.

In a major development in the commercial vehicle sector, Piaggio Vehicles has received a large order from HeidelbergCement India Limited for its newly introduced Ape Xtra Bada 700 cargo three-wheeler. As per the company, the cement firm has ordered more than 100 units of this diesel loading vehicle for its transport work.

These vehicles will be used in states like Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh and Bihar. They will mainly help in moving goods and doing daily delivery work in these areas. These areas include around 53 districts, where the vehicles will support local distribution activities. For Piaggio, this order is seen as an important step because it shows that big industries are now looking at Piaggio 3 wheelers for heavy duty work also.

The company believes this order will help strengthen its presence in the cargo transport segment. It also shows that modern loading 3 wheelers are now capable of doing work which earlier was mostly done by small four-wheel cargo vehicles.

This deal is being seen as a strong sign of trust from the cement sector. The Ape Xtra Bada 700 is designed to handle heavy loads while still keeping running cost lower compared to many entry-level four-wheel cargo vehicles.

Because of this balance between power and cost, companies can manage their delivery work more efficiently. It also helps in last-mile transport where smaller vehicles often perform better than larger trucks.

Industry observers say that the order also shows how the new model can compete with entry-level small commercial vehicles in some cases. This could open more opportunities for Piaggio in sectors like construction material, logistics and local goods movement.

Features Of Ape Xtra Bada 700

One of the biggest highlights of this cargo vehicle is its 7-foot cargo deck, which is considered the first of its kind in this segment. This longer deck allows transport of bigger and longer materials more easily.

The vehicle is powered by a 700 DI diesel engine, which offers good pulling power and improved pickup. It also claims to provide a payload capacity of around 750 kg, which is quite strong for a three-wheeler cargo vehicle.

The driver cabin is made little bigger this time, so the driver gets more space to sit and work comfortably. It also has a small 3.5-inch digital meter where basic details like speed can be seen easily. The company has also used bigger 12-inch radial tyres which helps the vehicle stay more stable while carrying heavy load on rough roads.

Another small but useful feature is the optional rear sensor, which can help drivers while reversing the vehicle, especially in narrow working areas.

Piaggio’s Growing Presence In India

Piaggio Group started its three-wheeler journey in India with the Ape brand many years ago and since then it has become a familiar name in the light commercial vehicle market. Today the company offers different types of three-wheelers in diesel, petrol, CNG, LPG and also electric options.

Piaggio says the Ape Xtra Bada 700 is built to make cargo transport easier with loading 3 wheelers. Many small businesses depend on these vehicles for daily work. The company is also offering a 5 year warranty, which is good because customers know they will get support for a long time.

Overall, this order from HeidelbergCement India could become an important milestone for Piaggio. If these vehicles perform well in real operations, more industries may start choosing Piaggio 3 wheelers for their daily cargo and distribution needs.
