What will the Euro4?

ANCMA warns: with the compulsory closing of shops because of coronavirus, many motorcycles and scooters Euro 4 They may be borne by the sellers.

ANCMA (National Association Cycle Motorcycle Accessories) with a terse statement goes straight to the point and asks the government intervention to protect manufacturers and traders also in the competence of the European offices.

A perfect storm

That overhead seems to be a perfect storm. On the one hand the obligation, from 1 gennaio 2021, to produce (and sell) only motorcycles and scooters with the approval Euro 5 In accordance with the European regulation 168/2013. On the other hand the Euro stock 4 already produced, ordered, stored when not delivered to the store. Finally, the forced closing of the shop due to the lockdown National for COVID-19 Emergency. The whole, manco a dirlo, its early in the season.

There were enough expenses and lost revenue of this block to give by thinking about the motorcycle dealers, it also puts the prospect of legislation that requires all to go to the Euro 5 at the end of the year.

But what will become of motorcycles and scooters Euro 4 already produced or are in production? It is permissible to ask himself.

According ANCMA the risk that thousands of unsold motorcycles and scooters is far from underestimating, it is concrete.

We do not know what will remain valid detection of suspicious activity and overcome this and the health emergency, It remains to understand the market reaction: How many will race to buy a new motorcycle or scooter? How many can afford immediately purchase that maybe they had planned before the disaster? And how many will be willing to buy the Euro 4 knowing that from January switching to the Euro 5?

Questions that are not answered at the time, but of concern that's for sure.

The only hope the current state of things is being able to convince Europe to delay of at least 6 months the transition to the Euro requirement 5. Now that the issue is more and more all the EU countries could be a way forward. just?

  1. Ciao Nick,
    until they circle the Euro 4? I do not remember.

    Thank you, Hello,
    Stefano, the Hunter

    1. Hello there is a circulation problem, But sales: from 1 gennaio 2021 They can no longer sell Euro4, but can circulate. There are no limits on the movement, as there are for Euro0, because it depends on choices of the Administration.

  2. I think we should postpone until at least 1 gennaio 2022 hoping that the term forecasts of a year of this damn pandemic are contradicted by the facts.
    Otherwise you should postpone sine die.
    You can not pass on to dealers, first of all, the consequence of this forced stop to life
