The National Motorcyclists Council and Motor Cycle Industry Association and have agreed to work together as the joint action plan for government and industry on zero emission motorcycles and other L-Category machines develops.
The NMC and its member organisations will work with the MCIA as part of a “UK Motorcycling” forum which has been set up as part of the industry’s commitment to create a formal L-Category community, to engage government in relation to its action plan “The Route to Net Zero”.
Commenting on this move, NMC executive director Craig Carey-Clinch said: “The NMC’s members are delighted to be working with the MCIA. Decarbonisation is the fundamental issue of our times. And, with the wide range of issues and potential technologies that are in play in the drive towards net zero, riders will be able to provide key inputs to the MCIA as work develops in this area.
MCIA chief executive Tony Campbell added: “Following the launch of the industry action plan, MCIA was tasked with setting up a stakeholder forum to ensure the involvement of all relevant organisations. This will be referred to as “UK Motorcycling”. Its objective is to coordinate and monitor action-plan delivery as the sector works towards a successful outcome with government on its agenda.”
