FEHAC

What FEHAC does

FEHAC (Federatie Historische Automobiel- en Motorfietsclubs) is a Dutch federation (vereniging) founded on October 25, 1976, headquartered in Bunnik, that represents 233 Dutch associations and foundations dedicated to classic road vehicles. Its membership base represents approximately 56,000 owners of cars, motorcycles, commercial vehicles, tractors, and trailers aged 30+ years, making FEHAC the unified national voice for the Dutch classic vehicle community and the country's recognized government interlocutor on heritage mobility.

The federation's core services span regulatory advocacy, documentation, and member enablement. It issues FIVA Identity Cards for Dutch-registered historic vehicles as the national FIVA representative, manages the DOVI (Document Ondersteuning Voertuig Identificatie) process that supports RDW vehicle identification, operates the VKI (Vrijwillige Klassieker Inspectie) voluntary inspection scheme, and administers the Evenementenregeling that allows suspended classic vehicles to participate in up to 8 event days per year. Its technology stack includes the Erfgoed Register van de Weg (national heritage register managed by Stichting Erfgoed van de Weg), the FEHAC Goedgekeurd Taxatierapport (a standardized appraisal system certified in cooperation with VRT, TMV, and RETM appraisers), and a digital Kennisbank (knowledge base) covering environmental zones, taxation, license plates, and sustainable fuels.

FEHAC operates as an ANBI-status non-profit funded primarily through recurring membership contributions (€1.25–€2.50 per affiliated member per year), an annual Business Partner Program at €3,500 per company, a Friends of FEHAC tier at €150 per year, and transaction-based fees for FIVA cards (€125–€200), DOVI processing (€25–€100), and per-kilometer inspections (€0.28/km). Distribution is community-led through 233 member clubs, with supplementary channels via website content, bi-annual FEHACtiviteiten publication, monthly newsletters, FEHAC Academy webinars, an annual congress, and public affairs lobbying. The organization is volunteer-run, supported by a 14-person professional secretariat, and holds ANBI public-benefit institution status.
