FPT Industrial is continuing its strong partnership with the Aprilia Racing Team in the MotoGP World Championship, the pinnacle of technology and innovation in motorcycle racing.
Hendy Power director Andy Smith said the two companies share a focus on technology and innovation that mean they constantly improve both their product portfolios and production processes.
For 2022, the FPT Industrial logo will be displayed once again on the fairing of the new Aprilia RS-GP 2022 ridden by Maverick Viñales, Aleix Espargaró and Lorenzo Savadori.
The 2022 will debut on the track for the first time on the 6th of March at the Losail International Circuit for the season-opening Qatar Grand Prix.
Throughout the 2022 MotoGP season, FPT Industrial will be supporting the Aprilia Racing Team on the track, as well as during the European races with two IVECO S-WAY trucks powered by the brand’s top-of-the-range Cursor 13 engines.
“Here in Noale, we are thrilled to be continuing our partnership with FPT Industrial, which has believed in us since the beginning. Our partnership has given us the opportunity to work in close contact with a company which shares strong Italian DNA with a global market presence,” says Massimo Rivola, CEO of Aprilia Racing.
Aprilia is one of the most successful brands in the history of motorcycle racing, having won 54 world titles. Aprilia has racked up these impressive numbers since 1992, with 28 of them coming since the company from Noale, near Venice, joined the Piaggio Group in 2005.
