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

The latest Piaggio showroom is situated at No. 163, Jaela Road, Gampaha and was ceremonially opened by Piaggio and Eicher AMW General Manager Suneth Sudasinghe, Piaggio Sales Manager Amitha Gamage, Manager – Network Development and Marketing Harsha Rodrigo, Area Manager Chathuranga Kapuge, Administration Manager Achini Amarasekera and a large number of special invitees, customers and well wishers attended the opening ceremony.

Speaking shortly after opening the new showroom, Sudasinghe 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 they reside in.

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 and Dambulla.

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 2012.

“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,” he said. At present, there is an island-wide network of around 200 authorised after-sales service agents and 150 authorised spare parts agents

Some of the salient features of Piaggio three-wheelers are fuel efficiency.

They can run 38 kilometres per litre, capable of carrying a load of 650 kg, low maintenance cost (Rs 2.10 per kilometre), comprehensive after-sales service and the availability of ample spares. For commercial purposes, Piaggio three-wheelers can also be provided according to the specifications and requirements of the business venture concerned.
