Glowing: our vehicle should transmit happiness to the drivers and to the viewers
Freedom: our vehicle should be free to go anywhere in the city and outside the city.
Trust: the owner should totally count on our vehicle, in terms of stability, bad weather, protection etc.
Changeable: the vehicle should change its aspect in relationship with the owner.
Target layout of Piaggio Coccinella: between Piaggio Ape and Piaggio Vespa.
Changeability will be possibile with a modular rear part of the vehicle.
