Partners
The European Motorcycle Training Quality Label was founded in 2014 by the European Association of Motorcycle Manufacturers (ACEM) and the German Road Safety Council (DVR), two organisations with a shared commitment to raising rider safety standards across Europe.
In 2018, the International Motorcycling Federation (FIM) joined as a partner, bringing global reach and further strengthening the Label’s credibility within the international motorcycling community.
As the Label enters a new phase of development, DVR continues its important work in national road safety, while FIM will focus its efforts on motorcycle training initiatives at the global level. Today, ACEM and the Institute for Motorcycle Safety (ifz) jointly operate the Label, combining policy expertise and technical knowledge to ensure its continued growth and quality.
The European Association of Motorcycle Manufacturers, ACEM, is the professional body representing the interests of the L-category vehicle industry in Europe (i.e. mopeds, motorcycles, tricycles, quadricycles). ACEM members include 16 manufacturing companies as well as 17 national associations based in 16 European countries. About 300,000 jobs depend on the L-category industry in Europe. There are more than 39 million motorcycles and scooters on Europe’s roads (2019 estimate)
ACEM manufacturing members are: BMW Motorrad, Bombardier Recreational Products (BRP), Ducati Motor Holding, Harley-Davidson, Honda, Kawasaki, KTM, KYMCO, Peugeot Motocycles Group, Piaggio, Polaris Industries, Royal Enfield, Suzuki, Triumph Motorcycles, Yamaha and Zero Motorcycles.

Since 1981, the Institute for Motorcycle Safety (ifz; Germany) has been an independent research and competence center dedicated to the safety of motorcycle and scooter riders. It brings together science, practice, and policy to reduce accidents and make Powered Two-Wheeler mobility safe, affordable, and accessible. The ifz operates throughout Europe through networks, partnerships, and projects, and globally through its International Motorcycle Conferences.
Motorcycle training and rider education are among the key focuses of the ifz’s activities. The goal is to improve riders’ riding skills as well as their awareness of hazards and risks. Through its research and international cooperation, the ifz contributes to the continuous development of high-quality, evidence-based motorcycle rider training across Europe.
