Welcome to the Connected Motorcycle Consortium
The Connected Motorcycle Consortium (CMC) is a collaboration between manufacturers, suppliers, researchers and associations to make Powered Two Wheelers (motorcycles and scooters) part of the future connected mobility.
CMC is a non-profit organisation established by key motorcycle makers with the unilateral goal to promote and develop Cooperative Intelligent Transport Systems (C-ITS) on a global scale.
Our goals
CMC targets to improve motorcycle rider safety and comfort.
Connected mobility / Vehicle-to-Vehicle Communications / Cooperative Integrated Transportation Systems (C-ITS) are being developed, but motorcycle-specific safety aspects haven’t been taken into consideration sufficiently so far. CMC is paving the way for motorcycle connectivity by making motorcycles part of C-ITS and connected mobility.
CMC aims to create a common basic specification for motorcycle ITS, with as many cross-manufacturer standards as possible.

Established in 2016 |
Open |
The basis of CMC was laid in the year 2015 when the founding members BMW Motorrad, Honda and Yamaha agreed upon the need to further enhance motorcycle/scooter safety by the means of C-ITS.
This initial partnership has led to the establishment of CMC in 2016. Since then, manufacturers, suppliers and research institutes joined forces to collaborate. |
CMC welcomes all motorcycle/scooter manufacturers, suppliers, institutions and corporations that want to take a leading role in promoting, researching and developing C-ITS for motorcycles. CMC seeks a dialog with all involved stakeholders.

"CMC is the Centre of Competence for Motorcycle ITS"
Industry Commitment
As by the agreement of the 29th September 2014, all manufacturing members of ACEM* have committed to introduce at least one of their powered two-wheeler models equipped with C-ITS functionality by the year 2020.
* Association des Constructeurs Européens de Motocycles (www.acem.eu)
The members of the CMC are paving the way to achieve this shared goal of the European Powered Two-Wheeler industry.

Membership - Core members
These are involved in research and development activities on C-ITS systems for PTW and the joint promoting of these technologies.
Membership - Other members
Currently these other CMC Members provide a support – corresponding to their chosen participation type – for Working Groups and/or Task Groups of the Connected Motorcycle Consortium.
Supporters
Supporters help out CMC on specific topics, within their own field of expertise. Usually this support is dedicated to certain projects, so there is no permanent participation to task groups or working groups required as there would be with a full membership.
Further information about participating in CMC can be found here.
