Porter Range
PORTER, DISTINGUISHING FEATURES: UNIQUE
As sturdy as a truck but as agile and compact as a city car, Porter combines the advantages of a light commercial vehicle with a cargo capacity usually offered only by much bigger vehicles. Discover the unique strengths of the Porter.
COMPACT CAB-FORWARD LAYOUT
The compact cab-forward layout ensures superlative agility in the city centre with an extremely tight turning radius (less than 4 metres) and a clear view of all surrounding obstacles. This layout also optimises space usage, maximising the surface area allocated to cargo (up to 65% of total for vehicle).
STEEL FRAME RAIL CHASSIS
The steel chassis strikes the perfect balance between lightness and sturdiness, offering outstanding performance in terms of strength and load capacity, while the frame rail chassis structure absorbs load stress impeccably, for superlative stability. In conjunction with a sturdy and responsive suspension damping system, the architecture of the Porter ensures excellent levels of grip even in challenging driving conditions.
FRONT ENGINE, REAR WHEEL DRIVE
The ideal weight distribution of this layout maximises both load capacity and roadholding performance. The weight of the cargo actually increases the grip of the drive wheels, while the forward position of the engine ensures that the driver never loses directional control. The advantages of this architecture are particularly clear when pulling away from a standstill in critical conditions, such as on slippery road surfaces and on steep gradients.
ADVANTAGES OF PORTER CONFIGURATION IN BRIEF
- Load capacity up to 65% of gross weight of vehicle, which is now 1.1 tonnes
- Unparalleled agility: with a turning radius of under 4 metres
- Superior grip and perfectly balanced weight distribution in all load conditions
- Sturdy, durable construction

MULTITECH euro 6: A HARD-WORKING ENGINE
Designed to comply with stringent Euro 6 emissions standards, the petrol MultiTech is a state of the art unit meeting tomorrow's requisites for the environment and fuel economy. This 1299 cc, four cylinder, 16 valve, double overhead camshaft engine with chain driven camshafts offers a significant improvement in performance over its predecessor: power has increased to 61 kW (+9 kW compared with previous engine) and torque is now 112 Nm (+7 Nm), while both fuel consumption and CO2 emissions are lower than before.

ADVANTAGES:
- Superior performance
- Lower consumption
- Low running costs

ECOSOLUTION: TARGET THE CITY CENTRE WITH ECO-FRIENDLY POWERTRAINS
The Porter Eco Solution range of engines offers a choice of 1,299 cc, 4 cylinder double overhead camshaft Bifuel engines (petrol + LPG or petrol + methane) with electronic fuel injection based on the Multitech Euro 6 unit. In addition to lower fuel costs, Bifuel versions also have a lower environmental impact, allowing access even to zones with anti-emissions traffic restrictions in place. Porter Bifuel vehicles also feature a normally sized petrol tank, significantly extending their range with the possibility of using both fuels when necessary.
ECOPOWER (LPG): LPG is one of the most inexpensive fuels on sale today. It contains no benzene and its combustion produces no particulate and much less harmful emissions than conventional fuels.
GREENPOWER (methane): Methane is an alternative low emissions fuel that is becoming an increasingly popular choice for many applications, especially in areas susceptible to atmospheric pollution.
ADVANTAGES OF BIFUEL VERSIONS IN BRIEF:
- Access to restricted traffic zones
- Lower running costs
- Extended range
- Low environmental impact
MORE SPACE FOR COMFORT AND SAFETY

PORTER, GREAT RESULTS FOR CUSTOMER SATISFACTION!
The Euro 6 project saw Piaggio dedicating even more attention than ever to vehicle quality, and pour intense efforts into every stage of the development and manufacture of the product. To evaluate the results achieved and ensure that our goals have been met, we conducted a two-part customer survey in Italy, with a first telephone interview one month after purchase and a second interview after three months of use of the vehicle. The 270 telephone interviews conducted revealed the following:
- 86% of customers purchased a Porter without considering any other vehicle (with 59% of customers citing a positive previous ownership experience with a Porter and 26% giving the compact dimensions of the vehicle as the reason)
- for the remaining 14% of buyers, confidence in their local dealership was also a deciding factor (with an overall score of 8.9 out of 10 for customer confidence)
- the overall verdict of owners was very positive, with an average score of 8.5 out of 10 and with 54% of buyers giving a score between 9 and 10
- certain individual qualities were also rated very highly - with average scores of: 9.0 for the performance of the new MultiTech Euro 6 engine; 9.2 for the quietness of the engine; 8.9 for driveability; and 8.3 for comfort.
- the average fuel consumption figure cited by owners was 12 km/l which, given the predominantly urban use of the vehicle, is highly satisfactory.
