Creating a world fit for the future

WelcomeOn Monday 4th November 2019, the Ricardo Motorcycle Conference (6.0) will take place for the sixth year. Many delegates have attended every year since we started this initiative, and this gives me confidence that we are delivering an insightful conference with an invaluable networking opportunity.

As always, the conference will pick up on several topics focusing on the current trends and future drivers of the motorcycle and urban mobility world which you have all been invited to contribute to, and we welcome you to contribute to in future years. We are pleased to see that the conference agenda grows year on year, also covering the wider L category/light vehicle landscape, which is becoming increasingly important for urban transportation.

This year the three interactive ‘Expert Dialogues’ to complement the main conference programme will involve specialists from the automotive and motorcycle engineering world. They will share the latest technologies and develop ideas in conjunction with delegates as to when and how they might be applied to future motorcycle development.

We feel the setting of the conference last year worked well, although we have planned certain improvements for this

year. Therefore, again we will be at the Museo Nazionale della Scienza e della Tecnologia Leonardo Da Vinci, in Spazio Polene which is a spectacular space in the Air & Water Transport building of the museum. The Expert Dialogues, as last year, will run concurrently in the Sala Conte Biancamano, an impressive original sector of the ocean liner by this name.

We will round off the conference with an evening event at the restaurant of Deus ex Machina. You will again have the opportunity to expand your network of like-minded people, make valuable global motorcycle industry contacts and enjoy the fascinating surroundings next to the Deus showroom and shop, situated right in the heart of motorcycle customising in Milan.

I am looking forward to welcoming you to the conference!

Paul Etheridge On behalf of the Scientific Board

About the conferenceEach year in November, motorcycle developers from all over the globe travel to Milan to take part in EICMA, the world’s largest motorcycle exhibition. Ricardo contributes its expertise and its passion for motorcycling throughout that industry, year on year, and was driven to create a focused forum where experts and others passionate about integrated motorcycle development could come together to share knowledge and new ideas. The Motorcycle Conference was born from the idea of Ricardo’s motorcycle enthusiasts to provide a means of bringing together global engineering capabilities.

The inaugural conference took place in 2014, with a clear remit to connect like-minded individuals from all over the world in an open forum not biased by sales agendas. With the growth in attendees year on year, we like to think that we have achieved this objective and will continue to do so in the coming years.

During the one-day conference, we discuss the challenges, directions and trends of future two wheelers, and learn more about local legislative restrictions. The conference also gives participants the opportunity to develop their personal

and professional networks in small and more intimate surroundings, prior to EICMA.

Due to the full programme, ‘Expert Dialogues’ will run in parallel to the main conference, bringing together automotive engineering experts and motorcycle and light vehicle developers.

Creating a world fit for the future

Ricardo has a long history in motorcycle engineering, dating back to the 1920s. Its earliest associations include Triumph (4 valves cylinder head in 1921), Vauxhall (complete motorcycle in 1922) and Harley Davidson (combustion system in 1934). The Ricardo motorcycle group was formalised in 1992 to provide a dedicated, specialist technical resource and to grow the business. Ricardo now has a global breadth and our clients benefit from our knowledge and experience not only in motorcycle design and development, but across a very broad spectrum of domestic, commercial and industrial vehicle projects.

Ricardo provides its clients with the right balance of styling, design, technical, strategic and manufacturing support to enable successful navigation of this highly competitive and regulated global marketplace. Drawing on a vast knowledge of full vehicle design and engine, transmission, driveline and electric/hybrid motorcycle technology, we offer our clients accelerated, uncompromised delivery of uniquely designed motorcycle products.

With an unprecedented full-product development capability, we help our clients to plan, design and deliver world-class motorcycles, scooters and other two, three and small four-wheel vehicles.

With the increasing emphasis and need for light, nimble and efficient vehicles for all urban transportation needs, Ricardo Motorcycle is ideally placed to provide its whole vehicle engineering capability to this growing transportation sector, covering all vehicles types within the European L category classification.
