Policy Areas

Safety

Safety is one of the top priorities for the Powered Two-Wheeler (PTW) industry, and we dedicate much of our energy and resources to acquiring and analysing data regarding road safety and Powered Two Wheelers in order to identify and prioritize areas for improvements.

Mobility

Getting to and from work, or even taking a quick trip into town is becoming ever more problematical. Rising traffic levels mean that road users have to spend anything up to several hours a day stuck in long traffic queues.

Environment

Over the last decade PTWs have achieved remarkable progress in reducing their environmental impact. In October 2010 the European Commission adopted a long anticipated proposal on new type-approval of L-category vehicles.

Competitiveness

With its application (from 19 January 2013), the 3DLD could contribute to further enable the mobility contribution of PTWs, while at the same time improve the safety of their Users.

EU PTW Regulation

The European Commission published a proposal for a Regulation on the "approval and market surveillance of two- or three-wheel vehicles and quadricycles".
