The COOL CLASSIC CARS project aims to promote sustainable tourism
and the European technical-industrial heritage, still little known and with a focus on classic cars. The idea is to combine the desire to travel at a slower and more environmentally sustainable pace with a passion for classic cars.
The Project
The CoolCars project draws on three recent socio-economic megatrends
and combines them to an innovative concept in adult education
The historic vehicle movement is a considerable contributor to the European economy and is responsible for a very interesting adult passion. It attracts interest from millions of people from all social backgrounds who enjoy seeing our mobile motoring heritage of cars, motorcycles, and other vehicles of all types over 25 years of age. At the same time, we can observe a growing awareness of the disadvantages of the throwaway society. Sustainability issues play a more important role, and aspects of “grey energy” are becoming more and more recognised. Under this light, classic cars, but also called “youngtimers” (cars built until the 1980s), appear suddenly in a favourable light as contributors to sustainability.
