European production expedites Yamaha’s Carbon Neutrality goal
Yamaha has accelerated its carbon neutrality goal for 2035, and the local production of the XMAX models at the company’s wholly owned MBK Industrie facility in France makes a major contribution towards achieving a reduction in the brand’s worldwide industrial carbon emissions in the period 2010-2035.
As well as helping Yamaha to achieve carbon neutral status, the European production of over 80,000 scooters, motorcycles and recreational vehicles each year contributes towards reducing lead times, cutting packaging waste and protecting against external supply chain shocks such as port congestion.
MyRide app
MyRide is the free Yamaha app that adds another dimension to every ride. Customers can download it to their smartphone and can track the route taken on every ride – and record distance covered, acceleration, top speed, elevation changes and much more. For commuters it’s a great way to see which route is the quickest way into the city, and it also allows XMAX riders to rediscover their favourite journeys and relive those special moments.
It’s easy for MyRide users to take images and share them on social media, and all riding information can be saved under the user’s own account.

Yamaha’s Genuine Accessories line includes a huge range of quality parts for the XMAX, enabling owners to personalise their scooter to match their lifestyle. From luggage and screens to performance exhausts and comfort seats and increased weather-protection, there’s something for everyone.

European production expedites Yamaha’s Carbon Neutrality goal
Yamaha has accelerated its carbon neutrality goal for 2035, and the local production of the XMAX models at the company’s wholly owned MBK Industrie facility in France makes a major contribution towards achieving a reduction in the brand’s worldwide industrial carbon emissions in the period 2010-2035.
As well as helping Yamaha to achieve carbon neutral status, the European production of over 80,000 scooters, motorcycles and recreational vehicles each year contributes towards reducing lead times, cutting packaging waste and protecting against external supply chain shocks such as port congestion.
MyRide app
MyRide is the free Yamaha app that adds another dimension to every ride. Customers can download it to their smartphone and can track the route taken on every ride – and record distance covered, acceleration, top speed, elevation changes and much more. For commuters it’s a great way to see which route is the quickest way into the city, and it also allows XMAX riders to rediscover their favourite journeys and relive those special moments.
It’s easy for MyRide users to take images and share them on social media, and all riding information can be saved under the user’s own account.
Genuine Accessories
Yamaha’s Genuine Accessories line includes a huge range of quality parts for the XMAX, enabling owners to personalise their scooter to match their lifestyle. From luggage and screens to performance exhausts and comfort seats and increased weather-protection, there’s something for everyone.
Yamaha also offer a range of CE-approved scooter riding gear and casual leisure wear for male and female customers.
