IMMA is not a small group; it brings together manufacturers’ associations from 14 countries and regions covering four continents. Members come from places like Australia, Europe, Japan, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, the United States, Vietnam, and more. The association acts as a single voice for the global motorcycle industry, including segments where 3-wheelers and electric 3-wheelers are quickly becoming important for daily mobility.

Focus on Safe and Sustainable Motorcycling Worldwide

The main work of IMMA is to push for safer and more sustainable motorcycle use across the world. The association tries to create policies that support all types of riders and manufacturers. It also works to harmonize vehicle rules so that requirements stay similar across countries. This includes discussions around new mobility trends such as TVS electric 3-wheelers and cleaner engines for motorcycles and scooters.

Long History of Working With the United Nations

IMMA has been active in global transport policies for almost 70 years. The organization works hand in hand with the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE), especially in groups like WP.29 and WP.1. These forums basically set the safety rules, tech standards, and environmental guidelines for motorcycles all over the world. What’s interesting is that these rules don’t just affect bikes—they also shape how 3-wheelers and TVS 3-wheelers are made and used, especially in countries across Asia and Africa where these vehicles are very common.

Active Role in International Safety and Research Groups

Apart from the UN, IMMA participates in many international expert bodies like GTB, ITF, and IRTAD under the OECD. These groups look at lighting standards, road safety, and accident data — all important topics for powered two-wheelers and fast-rising segments like cargo and passenger 3-wheelers.

In 2013, IMMA also joined the United Nations Road Safety Collaboration to work with WHO and promote better safety for riders of motorcycles, scooters, and 3-wheelers around the world.

India’s Stronger Voice in Global Motorcycle Policy

With Gaurav Gupta’s election, India gains a strong position in shaping global regulations that affect not only motorcycles and scooters but also the growing market of electric 3-wheelers and small mobility vehicles used heavily in Indian cities. His presence at IMMA gives India a chance to influence future rules, technology roadmaps, and sustainability plans for the worldwide two- and three-wheeler sector.
