Historic vehicles in modern Europe - between environmental regulations and fundamental freedoms
Classic cars are more than just vehicles - they are rolling cultural assets, documents of technological history and part of European identity. However, with the expansion of national environmental zones, their drivers are increasingly finding themselves in legal conflicts: Does historical registration also apply abroad? And can EU countries treat foreign classic cars more strictly than their own? This book comprehensively analyses the cross-border use of classic cars in the context of environmental zones, EU fundamental freedoms, non-discrimination and international agreements. It highlights current ECJ case law, national differences and legal policy developments - always with the aim of ensuring the free movement of historic vehicles in Europe. With tables, case studies, legal sources, judgements and sample texts, the book offers practical guidance and sound arguments - for lawyers, authorities, classic car owners and European decision-makers alike. A plea for mobility with history - and a handbook for everyone who is committed to cultural diversity in road traffic and the legally compliant use of classic cars in Europe. Bremen University Press has published over 4,800 specialist books in various languages since 2005.
