Piaggio Group presented GITA and KILO, the first projects developed by Piaggio Fast Forward (PFF) in Boston recently. PFF is a company established and controlled by the Piaggio Group to be an advanced American research centre for future mobility. The Group thus explores the evolution of mobility and does so thinking about the future, expanding its vision to include a much broader range of technological solutions compared to its current core business.
GITA is an autonomous vehicle, designed to assist people. It carries up to 18 kg, observes, and communicates. It can follow a person reaching up to 35 km/h, and knows how to move independently in a mapped environment. The spherical shape and clean design characterise its personality.
KILO is the “big brother” of GITA, and thanks to a larger capacity it can transport up to 100 kg in its 120 lt compartment. It has extraordinary stability thanks to its three wheels.
The revolutionary nature of GITA and KILO is in their ability to provide support to people in the various activities that characterise their movements in everyday life, extending the limited operating range and carrying capacity of humanity. They are, in fact, conceived as a true platform for mobility, which can be customised and integrated to meet different needs in multiple scenarios.
