figures for the EU show, once again, the importance of two- and threewheeled vehicles as a solution to the mobility needs of people, particularly in large urban areas that suffer from congestion problems.“ The latest increase in sales,
particularly in the motorcycle segment, is a very positive development. Newer and more environmentally friendly vehicles are being added to the European vehicle fleet, which, according to our estimations, is now close to 36 million units.
