The Background of the Camion Club de France

The Camion Club de France was created by members of the association : Amis du Musée du Poids Lourds (AMPL) and also associations such as : the Military Vehicle Collector Group (MVCG) renamed UNIVEM in 2007, l' Association pour la Création d'un Parc d'Histoire Technique (ACPHT). The ACPHT created a new exhibition in 1993 called : La LOCOMOTION EN FETE. From this time, interest in vintage utilitary vehicles has been increasing. In this open air exhibition, the CamionClub de France is in charge of organizing the display of vehicles comming from different countries, Great Britain, Belgium , Holland, Germany, Suisserland, Italy, being the most represented. Lorries, buses and coaches are placed by us on a limited surface, which is always too small! Welcome to our stand which is open to everybody!
The CCF has decided to help and promote the technical heritage of vintage utilitary vehicles in organizing or participating in any relevant exhibition.The CCF is the 381 ^st member of the /Fédération Francaise de Véhicules d'Epoque (FFVE) which represents all the vintage transport associations to the French government. In this association the CCF is in charge of representing utilitary vehicles. With the FFVE, we have organized :

• the Strasbourg parade
• the parade of the century (DEFILE DU SIECLE) on the "Champs Elysée" Paris in September 2000.
