ACEM

ACEM Decarbonisation online conference


The Brussels based international motorcycle industry trade association ACEM (Association des Constructeurs Européens de Motocycles) has announced another in its series of 2022 online conferences: "The Motorcycle Industry's Vision for Decarbonisation".

During the event, a high-level panel of industry and technology experts will discuss the motorcycle industry's latest initiatives in the area of decarbonisation within the context of the EU's climate targets and the industry's Vision 2030+.



They will be joined by a panel of public leaders from the EU and local levels to address current and future policies to place Europe on the path to climate-neutral transport. The event will also focus on current and future decarbonisation technologies, underlining how they can best contribute to the fight against climate change, and the regulatory and technical barriers that still need to be addressed.

Registered participants are invited to send their questions and comments using the hashtag #ACEMVision.


Main topics of the event

  • Sustainable mobility and motorcycling at horizon 2030-2050
  • Technological options to achieve decarbonisation (e.g. electric powertrains, swappable batteries, synthetic fuels, hydrogen, hybrid powertrains)
