RAI Association represents the interests of enterprises in the area of mobility. From cars to bicycles and from heavy trucks to garage equipment and parts. Everyone in The Netherlands uses one or more products of RAI Association members on a daily basis. RAI Association events best known to a larger audience are exhibitions such as the AutoRAI (the motor show), which takes place once every two years, GoMotor! (Powered Two-Wheeler show). The automotive trade shows AutovakRAI (automotive specialists exhibition) and the European Road Transport Show/BedrijfsautoRAI are greatly appreciated both in The Netherlands and abroad.

RAI Association voices the needs and interests of all road users and is always ready to discuss the role of mobility in The Netherlands with the government and other organizations. RAI is one of the organizations that has helped to convince the government that mobility is a vital element in our society and a force behind the growing welfare. The Association does not shy away from its responsibility when faced with tricky situations. It takes a position on issues and offers solutions that contribute to broader interests such as accessibility and the environment. For more than 115 years, RAI Association has played an active role in achieving favourable conditions for the production and sales of vehicles and parts for the 800 members who are together the suppliers of road transportation. The RAI story began in 1893 when agreements for promotional activities such as expositions were made. Its first lobbying campaign – a protest against a proposed bicycle tax – dates from three years after that. The enterprise members of RAI Association, grouped according to product in five different divisions, form a unique cluster. Nowhere in the world are so many of the industries that rely on mobility united in one organization.
