Zanella Hnos., or simply Zanella, is an Argentine motorcycle and mini truck manufacturer founded in 1948, originally using 100 and 125 cc engines designed by Fabio Taglioni and licensed from Ceccato motorcycles of Italy. Zanella builds small motorcycles, mopeds and ATVs. Zanella formerly manufactured go-karts.
Zanella also produces the ZMax series of three-wheel motorcycles (trikes) and mini trucks and the Force series of four-wheel light trucks.
Business Zanella makes mopeds, scooters, motorcycles, quad ATVs, karts, and 4-stroke engines ranging from 50 to 500 cc. However, only the mopeds are manufactured in Argentina at plants in Caseros and San Luis. Almost all other products are imported from China, usually as knock down kits.
Based on their onsite manufacturing capabilities and their assembly of imported motorcycles, Zanella plants have a monthly installed production capacity of 12,000 units. This current business plan is expected to lead to a production level of 14,000 units per month, returning to previous employment levels with approximately 1,000 direct and 3,000 indirect employees.
On December 22, 2009, an official presentation was held at the Zanella plant in Caseros, Buenos Aires by the Chamber of Manufacturers, Dealers and Suppliers of Motor Vehicles (Cámara de Fabricantes, Concesionarios y Proveedores de Motovehículos - CAFACOM). At the ceremony, General Confederation Entrepreneur of Argentina (CGERA) chairman Marcelo Fernández stated:The Motorcycle Chamber already exists; strong push from Zanella
"As a national company, Zanella is constantly developing projects in defense of the motorcycle industry and the interests of customers, and that is why we are promoting the creation of the House of Moto, to get more and better benefits for both manufacturers and traders."
