European motorcycle organisations ACEM and FIM, joined forces in Brussels to present their shared plans for improving mobility. During the event, ACEM president Michele Colaninno and FIM president Jorge Viegas, along with representatives from the European Commission and the European Parliament, discussed the role of two-wheeled vehicles in achieving EU objectives for roads and cities.
ACEM and FIM outlined their vision, focusing on five key areas: road safety, sustainability, industrial competitiveness, research and innovation, and tourism and motorsports. They stressed the need for dedicated priorities in mobility and road safety plans at European, national, and local levels to address the specific needs of riders as vulnerable road users. Additionally, they highlighted the potential of mopeds, motorcycles, tricycles, and quadricycles to contribute to efficient mobility in urban and peri-urban areas due to their light and small characteristics.
Colaninno stressed the importance of realistic policies to fully integrate innovative mobility and leisure vehicles into future mobility. At the same time, Viegas emphasised the cultural and economic significance of motorcycle sport, urging politicians to recognise and support it.
