Mattighofen (Austria) | 31 July 2024
A new meeting organised by the KTM Riders Academy (Klaus Schwabe) and ACEM gathered members of the new high quality training initiative to follow-up technical discussions and completion of real-life tests in Austria.
The level system concept was launched in December 2023 with the endorsement of the 36 schools composing the Quality Label initiative while adding new expertise from the academia side. During these months, work has progressed positively, confirming the natural evolution of the Quality Label.
The objective of the working group is to develop a Level System concept – set of cognitive and riding skills necessary to avoid the most frequent powered-two wheelers accident scenarios. The Level System will cluster these skills in groups of increasing abilities, encouraging motorcyclists to continue developing their personal riding curriculum over time. Significant progress was made, and first concrete results are expected by the end of 2024.
After the first day of the workshop, KTM invited the participants to a tour through the KTM Motohall. Showcasing the past, presence, and future of KTM motorcycles. Generating inspiration not only for the second day of the meeting, but for the ongoing shared effort to “Design the Future” of motorcycle safety.
Note for editors:
The European Motorcycle Training Quality Label is a voluntary certification scheme for post-licence safety training programmes run by the German Road Safety Council, the International Motorcycling Federation and the European Association of Motorcycle Manufacturers.
The main objective of the European Motorcycle Training Quality Label is to inform motorcyclists across the EU about the best training programmes available in their countries and to increase the number of riders undergoing high-quality voluntary training regularly.
There are currently 36 certified programmes in 11 European countries: Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain and Sweden, with more motorcycle training centres expected to join in 2024.
In 2019 the European Motorcycle Training Quality Label received the Road Safety Charter Award in the category “Voluntary commitments” from the European Commission.
