Aims and tasks
To support and encourage the preservation, restoration and use of historic vehicles in a historically and technically correct manner.
Historic Vehicle
FIVA defines a historic vehicle as a
• Mechanically propelled road vehicle
• Which is at least 30 years old
• Which is preserved and maintained in a historically correct condition
• Which is not used as means of daily transport
• And which is therefore a part of our technical and cultural heritage.
Different vehicles

Likewise the source of energy can call as well for petrol (gas) or diesel, and as well for steam or electricity. And in future...
