HVS & CVS NEWS

HVS & CVS REGISTRATION WORKSHOP NOVEMBER 4TH 2023 - DUBBO This workshop is open to representatives from all clubs in NSW providing HVS or CVS registration opportunities to their members, not just clubs affiliated with CHMC, HMA or CMC. The purpose of the meeting is to update and inform clubs on the HVS and CVS schemes and on Logbooks. CHMC ran similar vehicle registration workshops this year in Ballina and Cooma, these are always well received providing clubs with consistency in conditional registration information, and opportunities to have their HVS and CVS queries accurately responded to.

The Workshop will be addressed by members of the TfNSW team that oversees the HVS and CVS schemes. They will also speak to local road toll issues and road safety.
The day will follow our usual Panel format, with Peter Wright (CHMC) and Phil Mudie (HMA) as the industry representatives and the TFNSW team in the Panel. Phil will be our moderator for the day.
There will be a FAQ session – CHMC clubs are invited to send questions they’d like put to the Panel to our Registration Liaison Officer, Peter Wright, pjwright18@bigpond.com by Oct 25th.

THE FUTURE FOR HISTORIC VEHICLES?

CHMC monitors issues, trends and developments that affect the future of historic vehicles and their operation. Our contacts, in Australia and internationally, include peak bodies in historic motoring, heritage and government agencies, through them we obtain factual and reliable information and have opportunities to advocate to them on the future of historic vehicles.

HOW MUCH CARBON DOES YOUR HISTORIC VEHICLE EMIT? 

oPERATING hERITAGE aUSTRALIA HAS SHARED WITH US A TABLE FOR CALCULATING WHERE YOUR VEHICLE’S KM/YEAR INTERSECTS WITH ITS FUEL CONSUMPTION TO FIND CO2 EMITTED IN KG.

On the table, also online in CHMC's DINKUM OIL #23 MAY 2023 find where your vehicle’s km/year intersects with its fuel consumption to find CO2 emitted in kg. For example - based on the latest FIVA survey, Australian historic cars travel, on average, around 1200 km/yr and, if we assume a 14L/100km (20mpg) fuel consumption, then the amount of carbon dioxide produced is 504kg for the year.

OPERATING HISTORIC VEHICLES IN A TIME OF ENVIRONMENTAL CHANGE.

 E-FUELS FOR HISTORIC VEHICLES?

The FIVA Working Group on eFuels monitored successful tests of e-Fuels in vehicles aged from 1901 to the 1970s, including a 1922 Aston Martin in the Centenary 2022 Gran Prix; a 1936 Aston Martin raced at the GP Nuvolar; and a VW T1 bus that toured 3,500kms on the 2022 Olympia Rally.
Conclusion – “e-Fuel seems to work and did not harm historic vehicles ”.

A 1901 Mors and a 1904 Covert completed the 2022 London-Brighton without any problems on e-Fuel

2024 PRE-31 AUTUMN TOUR - ORANGE - MAY 2-5 2024

2024 Tour hosted by the CENTRAL TABLELANDS HISTORIC CAR CLUB, a member club of the CHMC NSW

2023 PRE-31 AUTUMN TOUR FOR VETERAN & VINTAGE VEHICLES          

The Tour was an outstanding success for 130 vehicles and their owners and passengers hosted at Cowra by CHMC Affiliated Club, Dinosaur Drivers Register, Lachlan Valley branch. The sights and scenery of the Central West were at their Autumn best colours, and a unique crossing of Wyangala Dam by all the cars was a highlight that made national television coverage.  

The Tour was again supported by a grant from the Paul Butler Bequest for Veteran & Vintage cars via the National Trust. Photos and reports of the 2023 Pre-31 Tour are on the CHMC Facebook Site, scroll down to May 2023.

         THE COUNCIL OF HERITAGE MOTOR CLUBS NSW (CHMC)            REPRESENTS AND PROMOTES HERITAGE, HISTORIC & CLASSIC VEHICLE and MAchinery CLUBS THROUGHOUT N.S.W. 

Members of CHMC Affiliated Clubs own, preserve and restore cars, trucks, motorbikes, buses, tractors and antique machinery that is over 30 years old (and quite a few vehicles etc. that are original and well preserved "youngtimers" - i.e. just waiting till they are old enough to be classed as historic)

 These members and their clubs share a common purpose, to keep alive the sights and sounds of the vehicles and machines that were an integral part of the automotive and transport history of Australia. Some of their vehicles are more than 100 years old, others are from the 1990s, some are rare, some are unique, and many are everyday vehicles from our nation's past. All are examples of our country's automotive culture and history. 

Heritage and historic vehicles are not still here with us by accident, they survive because someone has cared for them through time, or someone has rescued them just in time.
