Electric motor driven systems account for the greatest part of industrial electricity consumption in Europe. Numerous studies on individual component (motors, pumps, compressors) and on the consumption characterisation have shown the considerable potential for improvement of energy efficiency of these systems, and have recommended suitable policy actions. A number of policies have succeeded in making improvements on the supply side for individual components of systems, such as the electric motor itself. For electric motor a EU wide classification scheme and labelling exist together with a voluntary agreement by motor manufacturers to substantially improve the efficiency of motor placed on the market. Following the recommendation of experts, the European Commission decided to that a concerted effort on the demand side could very usefully complement the efforts being spent on components and technologies. The European Commission has decided to launch "The European Motor Challenge Programme" (MCP). This is a voluntary programme for motor systems end-users to agree to look at their motor systems and to carry out within a specific time frame the savings measure that are economic. The paper describes the programme and its implementation. The programme is based on the analysis of the main reasons why profitable energy savings measures are not put into practice in the private companies and on the successful examples where high level management made the necessary decisions to carry out motor systems energy efficiency programmes. The publicity aspect of the programme would be used to convince top management of the usefulness of subscribing to the MCP "Guidelines", in some ways similar to the existing EU "GreenLight" Programme commitment. Because of the very wide variety of situations, this commitment is open ended and flexible, a sort of "variable geometry" system, where each company, with aid from national energy agencies (the MCP "National Contact Points") the Commission, would target those areas and measures most likely to be effective in its operations. The company will commit to carrying out these measures, and reporting on the results, within an agreed upon time period.
