Important notes: 1. The figures are of current vehicles recorded in the Motor Vehicle Register, excluding vehicles with cancelled or lapsed registration. 2. The "mean age" is the sum of the products of vehicle totals multiplied by age, divided by total vehicles. 3. The mean age of the national vehicle fleet is not available prior to 1999. 4. The age of the fleet is a conservative estimate only. The vehicle year recorded on the motor vehicle register may be either the year of manufacture, the model year as denoted by the manufacturer, or the year in which the vehicle was first registered. This may result in the overall age of the vehicle fleet being understated.

Glossary of terms

Car A vehicle designed primarily for the carrying of passengers. Commercial A vehicle designed primarily for the carriage of goods such as: vans, utilities and trucks.

This definition also includes buses and coaches in our registration statistics. Ex-overseas An ex-overseas vehicle is one which has been previously registered in another country

before arrival in New Zealand (ex-overseas vehicles are also referred to as used imports). Gross vehicle weight Also known as gross vehicle mass: denotes the manufacturer’s gross laden weight of a

vehicle, in kilograms. Licensing The process of issuing a licence to a vehicle to allow it to be used on the road. Vehicles

are licensed after they are registered: the vehicle owner pays a licensing fee, and a licence label is attached to the vehicle.

Miscellaneous A miscellaneous vehicle, in registration statistics, is one which, by its design, is not of a

commonly defined vehicle type: e.g. steam engine, crane, etc. New For the purpose of registration statistics, the definition of ‘new’ also includes ex-overseas

vehicles. Postal districts Where indicated, figures are tabulated by areas of New Zealand known as postal districts

as defined under NZ Post Office. These districts have been retained to facilitate the historical trend analysis.

Registration The process of adding a vehicle to the Motor Vehicle Register: a vehicle, whether new or

used, must first be registered before it can be licensed to be used on the road. Registration has been traditionally confused with licensing: registration is normally carried out only once in the lifetime of a vehicle, whereas licensing is generally renewed every six or twelve months.

Notes

1. The statistics in this book refer to vehicle registrations – not vehicle imports. Import statistics would generally differ from registration statistics because of the carry-over of stocks from one year to the next.

2. All the statistics in this book refer to calendar years, unless otherwise indicated. Where data is reported as at 30 June, this relates to the New Zealand Transport Agency financial year from 1 July to 30 June.
