ANESDOR

What ANESDOR does

ANESDOR (Asociación Nacional de Empresas del Sector de Dos Ruedas) is a Spanish non-profit trade association founded in 1954 that represents manufacturers, importers, auxiliary industry, and aftermarket companies operating in the country's motorcycle and light vehicle (L-category) sector. As the oldest automotive sector association in Spain, it coordinates technical standards, safety guidelines, and regulatory positions on behalf of members that collectively account for more than 95% of the domestic motorcycle and light vehicle market, comprising 69 member companies (as of 2026) and, per 2023 figures, 73 companies commercializing 151 brands.

The association's service portfolio is institutional rather than technological: it provides sector representation before Spanish and European public administrations, participates in standard-setting across road safety, vehicle homologation, environmental taxation, and technical regulation, and serves as the Spanish member of ACEM (European Association of Motorcycle Manufacturers) and IMMA (International Motorcycle Manufacturers Association). Its public-facing assets include the Vive la Moto consumer platform (vivelamoto.org), the airbag technical guide and product catalog (airbag.anesdor.com) developed with Spain's traffic authority (DGT), the ARAS information portal (aras.anesdor.com), and the International Motorcycle Safe Mobility Conference organized jointly with DGT and Mobility City. The organization does not develop proprietary software products or sell commercial services; its output is regulatory positioning, sector data, and convening.

ANESDOR's revenue model is membership-fee based, with dues paid by manufacturers, importers, auxiliary industry, and aftermarket participants. There is no disclosed revenue figure, and as a non-profit association it does not operate on a commercial margin basis. Distribution of its services is delivered through direct member engagement, public information portals, events, and representation via ACEM and IMMA at the European and international levels.

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• JAMA (Japan Automobile Manufacturers Association): Japan's broad automotive industry association covering motorcycles, cars, and trucks. JAMA operates at much larger scale and includes motorcycle manufacturers like Honda and Yamaha, providing a parallel — but more diversified — model of national industry representation.

Direct peers

• Motorcycle Industry Council (MIC): US national trade association representing motorcycle manufacturers, distributors, dealers, and aftermarket. MIC provides the closest functional equivalent to ANESDOR in the largest English-speaking two-wheeled market, with parallel mandate of sector representation, statistics, and advocacy.
• IMMA (International Motorcycle Manufacturers Association): Global motorcycle manufacturers association providing ANESDOR with international representation. IMMA performs the analogous trade body function at worldwide scope, paralleling ANESDOR's domestic role.
• ANFAC (Asociación Española de Fabricantes de Automóviles y Camiones): Spain's national association for passenger car and truck manufacturers. ANFAC is the sister association serving adjacent vehicle categories in the same Spanish market and engages with the same regulators and policy stakeholders.
• ACEM (European Association of Motorcycle Manufacturers): European-level trade association for motorcycle manufacturers, of which ANESDOR is a member. ACEM operates at the EU regulatory tier and represents the same manufacturer and importer constituency, making it the closest functional and structural peer.

Others

• CONEPA (Confederación Nacional de Empresarios de Profesionales de la Automoción): Spanish federation of automotive repair and aftermarket businesses. CONEPA represents a related but distinct segment of the Spanish automotive value chain, with overlapping regulatory interests around vehicle homologation and technical standards.
• FEMA (Federation of European Motorcyclist Associations): European federation representing motorcyclist riders rather than manufacturers. FEMA engages with similar EU regulatory bodies on motorcycle-relevant policy from the consumer side, making it a complementary stakeholder rather than direct competitor.

Regional players

• Motorcycle & Moped Industry Association of Australia (MCIA): Australian national association for motorcycle manufacturers and importers. MCIA performs the same member representation and advocacy role as ANESDOR but serves a different geographic market with distinct regulatory environment.
