With the rising demand for Piaggio three-wheelers, Associated Motorways (Pvt) Limited (AMW) recently added a new showroom at Tissamaharama to its island-wide network of fully-fledged, modern showrooms.

The latest Piaggio showroom is situated at No. 121/A Kachcheriyagama Road, at Tissamaharama. It was ceremonially opened by Amitha Gamage, Sales Manager (Piaggio), AMW. Harsha Rodrigo, Manager – Network Development and Marketing, Kasun Fernando –Assistant Area Manager and a large number of special invitees, customers and well wishers attended the opening ceremony.

Speaking about the opening of the Tissamaharama new showroom, Suneth Sudasinghe, General Manager (Piaggio and Eicher) AMW said that there is a big demand for Piaggio diesel three-wheelers from all parts of Sri Lanka. He said that AMW is taking steps to open new showrooms in all key towns in Sri Lanka for the convenience of customers who can inspect and purchase Piaggio three-wheelers within the areas in which they reside.

As part of this expansion drive, AMW has already opened Piaggio showrooms in the key towns of Kurunegala, Ratnapura, Avissawella, Kandy, Anuradhapura, Badulla, Ampara, Nuwara Eliya, Matara, Negombo, Batticaloa, Dambulla and Gampaha. At these showrooms, customers can inspect and purchase Piaggio three-wheelers either on a cash basis or under a leasing facility.

The prime objective of AMW is to offer customers the opportunity to inspect and purchase Piaggio three-wheelers within the areas they live in. To meet this objective, AMW has made plans to open many more new fully-fledged, modern showrooms in various other parts of the country in this year.

“We are not only expanding our existing network of showrooms but also adding more value and strengthening the network of authorised Piaggio service and spares agents who provide the vital after-sales service and accessories to our customers,” Sudasinghe said. At present, there is an island-wide network of more than 200 authorised after-sales service agents and 150 authorised spare parts agents
