FIVA (Fédération Internationale des Véhicules Anciens) will be making its début with an independent booth at the Auto e Moto d’Epoca Exhibition scheduled to take place at BolognaFiere from 24th to 27th October.
This dedicated area will introduce the FIVA Charter, a prestigious award for classic vehicles at least 30 years old which must be preserved and maintained in their original conditions, and will be an opportunity for encounters and debates. The booth will be hosting two truly singular vehicles: the Suzuki Go, a prototype of the amphibian model designed by the late Marcello Gandini, and the Benelli 250 Quattro, a motorcycle designed by Paolo Martin, which this year will receive the prestigious FIVA Hall of Fame award.
During the event, meetings will be held by the various FIVA Commissions: the Technical Commission will be concentrating on the roll-out of the new FIVA Technical Code, whilst the Commission for Exhibitions will be busy planning the calendar of events for the coming years. In addition, the Utility Vehicle Commission will have the opportunity to visit local collections, exploring and appreciating the riches of the region’s car and motorcycle heritage.
Since 1966, the year of its foundation in Paris, FIVA has sought to bring together curators of classic vehicles and to develop this movement on a global level. At the present time, the organisation is active in over 80 countries, represented by national clubs and federations, and brings together millions of enthusiasts of motorised classic vehicles, including cars, motorbikes, lorries, tractors and steam engines.
