Piaggio CEO elected ACEM president for second term
Michele Colaninno, CEO of the Piaggio Group, has been elected for a second term as president of the Association des Constructeurs Européens de Motocycles (ACEM), the European motorcycle industry association based in Brussels.
Colaninno’s confirmation as ACEM President coincides with the association’s restructuring, which has also named three vice presidents: Stefan Pierer (CEO of KTM AG), Markus Flasch (CEO of BMW Motorrad), and Vito Cicchetti (Honda Motor Europe Ltd.).
“The market and urban environments are changing fast, and mobility is evolving. This is a challenge for the industry and an opportunity not to be lost: sustainability, connectivity, safety, and competitiveness are the key points of our agenda and the ACEM Manifesto. Geopolitics will make 2024 a crucial year for political and commercial stability: the elections in Europe, the USA, and India will set the course for the coming decades. In this scenario, transport and mobility are decisive factors for development and the quality of life. Scooters and motorcycles offer different solutions for society’s new needs in urban and rural areas. At ACEM, we shall continue to engage with European, national, and local bodies in the interests of clients and private individuals.”
