The Association of European Motorcycle Manufacturers has announced a new road safety strategy that aims to bring together new technologies, high-quality training and improved policies to reduce motorcycle fatalities and injuries.
Dubbed ‘The Safe Ride to the Future 3.0’, the programme will promote the European Motorcycling Training Quality Label (motorcycle-training-label.eu), an industry-led initiative that has already certified 36 post-license training schemes across 11 countries. The strategy also outlines how the motorcycle sector is working with European and national stakeholders to promote policies that accompany increasing motorcycle use in a safe and sustainable manner.
ACEM says it fully supports the ‘Safe System’ approach, tackling road safety holistically by considering human, vehicle, and infrastructure factors. By working with governments, road authorities and safety organisations, the motorcycle industry is committed to achieving the EU’s Vision Zero goals, striving for zero road fatalities and serious injuries by 2050.
Antonio Perlot, secretary general of ACEM, said: “PTWs are an essential part of Europe’s mobility landscape, providing efficient and sustainable mobility options to millions of people. With The Safe Ride to the Future 3.0, ACEM members reaffirm their determination to ensure these vehicles are fully integrated into transport strategies for a better future through safer motorcycling in the interest of users and wider society.”
