As the voice of the motorcycle industry in Europe, ACEM joins main stakeholders from the automotive value chain calling on the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, to stimulate sectoral transformation and enhance competitiveness.

The sector of two, three and four wheels is firmly committed to shaping the green and digital transition while continuing a constructive dialogue with public authorities. However, the rise of several challenges is putting further pressure on the decarbonisation of transport and undermining the transformation of our industry.

The signatories have prioritised six key actions before the end of the current mandate:

1. Develop a robust industrial strategy;
2. Scale up a European zero-emission market and battery value chain;
3. Ensure a stable and coherent regulatory environment for the sector;
4. Enhance the skills agenda and Just Transition framework;
5. Improve transport affordability; and
6. Ensure a global level playing field.

Future inaction from law makers at this critical moment will undermine the European automotive industry and put at risk employment in a sector that generates more than 13 million EU jobs.
