The increasing number of COVID-19 cases in the country and the resultant lockdown, which is currently in its fourth stage, has affected the livelihood of many people. With the lockdown restricting public movement, auto-rickshaw drivers, who depend on daily earnings, are one of the most affected ones. Offering a helping hand to this community, Piaggio Vehicles Pvt Ltd (PVPL), has distributed more than 11,000 ration kits to the families of needy auto rickshaw drivers, each of which could feed a family for two months.

Talking about this initiative, Diego Graffi, MD & CEO of Piaggio Vehicles Pvt. Ltd. said, "In these exceptionally difficult times we stand with the auto driver & transport worker community to provide our relentless support. They are facing difficulties in this unprecedented COVID-19 situation. We had earlier announced an extension of the warranty for all our 3-wheeler customers and have now decided to support the most needy households of this community by taking care of their basic food security for a period of 2 months. Our dealers are also partnering with us and supporting us voluntarily in this distribution to reach out to the underprivileged drivers & their families. This is an unparalleled crisis that needs cooperation and support from all of us as a community and as a socially responsible organisation we are going to keep doing the best we can do for the driver community".
