Manufacture of motorcycles

NACE v2.0 Code: C30.91

About manufacture of motorcycles

NACE code 30.91 covers the manufacture of motorcycles, mopeds, and related parts and accessories. This industry plays a crucial role in the transportation sector, providing affordable and efficient mobility solutions for individuals and businesses alike. Motorcycle manufacturing is a significant contributor to the global economy, with a growing demand driven by urbanization, rising disposable incomes, and the need for environmentally-friendly transportation options.

Production process

The production of motorcycles typically involves a series of complex processes, including metal stamping, welding, painting, and assembly. Manufacturers utilize advanced technologies and automation to ensure consistent quality and efficiency in their operations. Key steps in the production process include the fabrication of frames, the installation of engines and transmissions, and the integration of electrical and electronic components.

Production inputs

The manufacture of motorcycles requires a range of inputs, including steel, aluminum, and other metals for the frame and body components, as well as engines, transmissions, and electrical systems. Manufacturers also rely on specialized machinery, such as CNC machines, welding equipment, and paint booths, to ensure the precision and quality of their products. Additionally, the industry requires a skilled workforce capable of operating these advanced production techniques.

Production outputs

The primary output of the motorcycle manufacturing industry is, of course, the motorcycles themselves. These products are then consumed by a variety of other NACE codes, including 45.40 Retail sale and repair of motorcycles and related parts and accessories, 49.32 Taxi operation, and 77.39 Rental and leasing of other machinery, equipment and tangible goods. The industry also produces a range of related parts and accessories, which are used for maintenance, customization, and the aftermarket.
