Kymco 想要入主 Aprilia？

Hmmm… Kymco(光陽)想要買下 Aprilia？義大利車廠 Aprilia 因財務缺口逐年加大，已經引起不少其他車廠的收購企圖。前一陣子夢幻車廠 Ducati 有意金援，但斷然被 Aprilia 高層拒絕。不過就在此時殺出其他不尋常的買主。在義大利經營有好一段時間的台灣 Kymco，據稱也想分一杯羹。SuperbikePlanet.com:

Besides Ducati and Piaggio, offers for the ailing Aprilia have come from BRP-Rotax and Kymco. Kymco is from Taiwan and annually produces 480,000 vehicles. There is a rumor Kymco’s bid is highest. BRP-Rotax is the Austrian engine manufacturing subsidiary of the recently re-branded Bombardier Recreational Products Company from Canada whose annual sales total $1.9 billion.

如果 Kymco 可以強渡關山壓垮地頭蛇 Piaggio 的染指，成功入主 Aprilia，那這鐵定是個全新的經營挑戰。
