“The safe ride to the future” – ACEM conference, September 7, BrusselsFollowing the postponement triggered by security concerns in Brussels, ACEM (Association des Constructeurs Européens de Motocycles), the international motorcycle industry trade association, has announced a new date for its 2016 conference.
Slated for 7 September 2016 at the Renaissance Hotel, 19, Rue du Parnasse, Brussels, from 12:30 pm, the theme for this year’s half day conference is “The safe ride to the future”.
With motorcycles playing an increasing role in urban and leisure mobility across the European Union, bringing together administrators, regulators and transport policy planners remains of increasing importance as motorcyclists remain vulnerable road users requiring dedicated attention.
Through Europe’s trade associations, 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 conference will feature two panel sessions – the first will be ‘Devising an effective motorcycling safety policy for Europe’, followed by ‘Working across boundaries for motorcycling safety’.
“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.
