EICMA happens to be the world’s biggest motorcycle show and for this reason, all major bike manufacturers take part in this two-wheeler extravaganza. The current times are certainly tough for the automotive industry and multiple manufacturers have announced job cuts recently due to Coronavirus and other reasons. Earlier in April, KTM and BMW Motorrad were among the first manufacturers to opt-out of the 2020 EICMA show.

Speaking on the cancellation of 2020 EICMA, the organisers said that the value and the international leadership of the exhibition-event have convinced them not to wager on the evolution of health situation linked to the COVID-19 pandemic and above all, to listen to and protect the whole of two-wheeler industry. They further added that the responsibility has been imposed on them and makes them act on a wide scale in the interest of exhibitors and visitors, and hence the 2020 show was postponed with a solid convergence of intentions.
