Press conference with Eucon: A Visionary Partner Supporting the Preservation and Roadworthiness of Historic Vehicles

FIVA Identity Card & Eucon:

A Strategic Modernization for Automotive Heritage

In 2025, the Fédération Internationale des Véhicules Anciens

(FIVA) continues its commitment to preserving and promoting

the world’s automotive cultural heritage. As part of this mission,

FIVA has not only modernized its FIVA Vehicle Identity

Card, a central tool for collectors and enthusiasts, but has also

signed an agreement with Eucon, an internationally renowned

digital pioneer in data management with over a quarter century

of experience in driving digital transformation in the automotive

and historic vehicle industries. This collaboration reflects a shared ambition to blend tradition and innovation in the service of historic vehicle preservation. This collaboration is not only a logical, but also a proverbial ‘next-step’ development of FiVA’s efforts to combine the safeguarding of tradition with the promotion of innovation in the service of preserving historic vehicles.

The FIVA Identity Card: A Global Benchmark, Modernized

for the Future

The FIVA Identity Card is more than just a document: it is a

global reference for the certification and recognition of historic

vehicles and ‘Youngtimers’ (vehicles over twenty years’

old which fall below the threshold of thirty years to qualify for

recognition as a historic vehicle,) documenting the extent of a

vehicle’s originality and history in a verified manner. In keeping

with the increasing demands of event organizers, national

and international registration authorities, the changing needs

of owners and the manufacturing industry, the FIVA Technical

Commission has recently dedicated over a year of work

towards the modernization of the FIVA Identity Card in order

to fully address the evolving needs of not only owners but

industry stakeholders as well.

Key Features of the New FIVA Identity Card:

- Comprehensive and independent technical documentation,

validated by experts.

- Highlighting the unique characteristics of each vehicle,

ensuring and documenting its authenticity and archiving

its history.

- A modernized, streamlined and digitalized application

process incorporating video tutorials and interactive QR

codes for enhanced ease of use.

- National and international recognition, essential for exchanges,

events, future regulations, and, for a number

of countries, eligibility for reduced road tax and/or insurance.

Eucon: A Visionary Partner Supporting

the Preservation and Roadworthiness

of Historic Vehicles

Building upon this modernization, FIVA has proceeded to partner

with Eucon, a globally recognized leader in the field of

automotive data services and supplier access. The data services

provided by Eucon not only enable historic and young

timer vehicle owners to find and check availability for spare

parts and technical information but to also be able to identify

alternative and multiple sources. This partnership is a decisive

step forward for the preservation and use of these vehicles for

future generations.

Key Benefits of This Collaboration:

- A natural capitalization of competitive advantages and

synergies: While the FIVA Identity Card details the history

and identification of vehicles, concomitantly, Eucon

facilitates access to essential spare parts and resources

for repair, maintenance, restoration and reconditioning..

- Enhanced support for sector stakeholders: through

Eucon, owners, collectors, restorers and professionals

gain access to global data services, securing and optimizing

preservation processes.

- Impact at all levels: This partnership benefits owners,

collectors, clubs and associations and FIVA National

Authorities (ANFs) and supports FIVA’s global heritage

mission.
