Key reference number	TV008
Definition of indicator	Road fleet by fuel type (petrol, diesel, other)
	Light commercial is defined by vehicle type (truck under 3.5 tonnes, van, ute) rather than usage
	The regional locations are established from the WoF/CoF inspection location rather than the owner address, to avoid the "vehicles registered to the Auckland Head Office" effect
