The safe ride to the future
Motorcycles play an increasing role in urban and leisure mobility across the European Union. At the same time, motorcyclists remain vulnerable road users requiring dedicated attention.
The industry continuously works to ensure high safety levels for powered-two wheeler users. Yet, there is a clear case for increased cooperation between manufacturers, policy-makers and other key stakeholders.
The Safe ride to the future will explore how all relevant players can take up this challenge and better work together to further improve motorcycling safety in Europe. The conference will cover key aspects of motorcycling safety such as advanced vehicle technology, human behaviour, road infrastructure, as well as the interaction between these. As part of the conference, ACEM will launch its new European Training Quality Label and will organise an exhibition on motorcycle safety technology.
Date and venue
The conference will be held on 7 September 2016 at the Renaissance Hotel
19, Rue du Parnasse, Brussels, Belgium.
