Car classification is a general term that relates to any effort
to place vehicles into categories. Governments and private organizations
have developed classification schemes that are used for innumerable
purposes including regulation, description and categorization, among
others. This article details commonly used classification schemes in use
worldwide.
Vehicles can be categorized in numerous ways. For example, a
government may establish a vehicle classification system for determining
a tax amount. In the United Kingdom, a vehicle is taxed according to
the vehicle's construction, engine, weight, type of fuel and emissions,
as well as the purpose for which it is used.[1] Other jurisdictions may determine vehicle tax based upon environmental principles, such as the user pays principle.[2]
In another example, certain cities in the United States in the 1920s
chose to exempt electric-powered vehicles because officials believed
those vehicles did not cause "substantial wear upon the pavements."[3]
In an example from private enterprise, many car rental companies use[where?] the ACRISS Car Classification Code
to describe the size, type and equipment of vehicles to ensure that
rental agents can match customer needs to available vehicles, regardless
of distance between the agent and the rental company or the languages
spoken by either party. In the United States, the Highway Loss Data
Institute uses a scheme it has developed that takes into account a
combination of both vehicle size and other vehicle features such as
length and wheelbase.[4]
A classic car is an older car; the exact definition varies around the world. The Classic Car Club of America
maintains that a car must be between 30 and 49 years old to be a
classic, while cars between 50 and 99 fall into a pre-antique class, and
cars 100 years and older fall into the Antique Class. In the UK, 'classic cars' range from veteran (pre–First World War), to vintage (1919–1930), to post-vintage (1930s). Post–Second World War classic cars are not so precisely defined.
Modern classic car
These vehicles are generally older, ranging from 15 to 25 years, but are
usually not accepted as classics according to the Antique Automobile
Club of America. In the UK the Modern Classic definition is open to the
discretion often by Insurance Brokers and Insurance Companies who regard
a Modern Classic as a vehicle that is considered collectible regardless
of age.[7] The usage of the vehicle limited to recreational purposes and/or restricted mileage, is also taken into account.
