Several UK dealers for Gianni Ferrari joined them at the recent EIMA show in Bologna, Italy.

EIMA is a major event in the European machinery show calendar comprising Agriculture, gardening, engines, parts etc. and was used as a platform for Gianni Ferrari for introducing new ideas for the following season.

This was certainly the case this year, with the star of the show being the new concept electric mowers.

Not yet in Gianni Ferrari colours, the new GSM, GTM and GSR electric mowers caused quite a stir in their grey and black livery. Run on Lithium rather than lead batteries, they offer an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional professional mowers.

Patrick Ripley UK sales manager for Gianni Ferrari, is clearly optimistic about the potential future of these electric machines, stating: “It’s a very exciting development.”

“The electric mowers will definitely have a place,” says Patrick, “and it’s brilliant to see the work and development going on. In the meantime we will be looking at securing sales in the UK for the established models such as the T4’s and T4 cruisers and in particular we are excited about the new Turbo Z.”

Gianni Ferrari will be exhibiting the new Turbo Z 322 Diesel (below) at BTME for the first time in January.
