The award was presented to Piaggio Vehicles after the consideration of a jury panel that included consultants, government officials and members that are a part of the Delhi EV policy steering committee.
On receiving the honour, Diego Graffi, Chairman and Managing Director, Piaggio Vehicles said, “We are excited to receive this coveted award from the Government of Delhi and be a reliable partner in their endeavour to motivate the citizens of Delhi to transition to electric vehicles. We will continue to support the initiative and enhance our presence within the EV ecosystem.”
