Metadata

Key reference number EI002
Definition of indicator Grams of CO2 per km driven for new vehicles entering the light vehicle fleet
The regional locations are established from the WoF/CoF inspection location rather than the owner address. This is more accurate than using the registration address, as company vehicles could be registered to Auckland or Wellington addresses say, even though they are based and used somewhere else
Export date 30/01/2012
Core indicator information
Nature of data Quantitative
Data source NZTA Motor Vehicle Register
Frequency Monthly
Disaggregation None
Timeliness Updated quarterly
Quality of the data Unavailable for used diesel vehicles as very few of them have a value recorded on the vehicle register
This information was first recorded on the vehicle register in March 2005, though not every new vehicle had a value at that time. Almost all NZ new vehicles being first registered now have values recorded
The regional data excludes vehicles first registered in the Chathams, or with unknown region
There is more detail available in the MoT Quarterly and Annual Vehicle Fleet Statistics Reports - see http://www.transport.govt.nz/RESEARCH/
