Jose Maria Riano, Secretary General of ANESDOR, says that “October was in line with the +13 percent to +20 percent growth in registrations in Spain seen for most of 2018 so far. The growth is partly down to economic recovery, but also due to more citizens turning to two-wheel transportation, especially in urban areas, because of its positive effect on congestion and the environmental advantages”.
