Reading This Report
These are NZTA's published RUC sales figures. Kilometres Sold measure distance purchased, rather than distance driven during the period. Licences Sold do not count unique vehicles. Regional figures describe the registered owner's address.
Refunds, reversals, changes in RUC rates and the timing of advance purchases can affect comparisons. The report is a snapshot of the source revision shown above; the live explorer may contain later revisions.
