Fuel economy labelling progamme

The fuel economy labelling programme is looked after by EECA in consultation with the NZ Transport Agency (NZTA). We've moved the fuel economy label generator to the EECA website and made it easier for everyone - traders and private sellers - to produce the vehicle information and labels they need.

If you have any questions about fuel economy labels contact EECA on 0800 749 782 or email fuel.economy@eeca.govt.nz

What's the VIN and where do I find it?

A vehicle identification number (VIN) is a unique, 17-character number, which is assigned and attached to a motor vehicle. A VIN can be:

  • stamped into the vehicle structure (often the firewall) during manufacture
  • stamped on a metal plate and fixed onto the vehicle body
  • etched onto the rear window of the vehicle.

Read NZTA's factsheet for more information.

What's the Chassis number and where do I find it?

The Chassis number is the manufacturer's numbering system and varies in format depending on both the manufacturer and the jurisdiction in which the car was first registered. The chassis number will be on a metal plate on the firewall of the car.

In New Zealand, chassis numbers are only routinely recorded for used imports.

What's the Model code and where do I find it?

The Model Code used in the database is provided by new car manufacturers to identify cars of the same make, model and sub-model. It will be provided by the manufacturer along with other information about the car. There have been a few cases where the model code supplied by the manufacturer to the database is slightly different from the model code given to the trader.

If the model code you are using does not generate a label, check with the manufacturer.

WARNING: The Fuel Economy Label layout and content must not be altered in any way, in accordance with regulation 6 sections (4)(5)(6) of the Energy Efficiency (Vehicle Fuel Economy Labelling) Regulations 2007, but it may be made larger (reg 6(6)(a)). These regulations also include the requirement to "Clearly and prominently" display the label.

DISCLAIMER: The Fuel economy label generator tool is designed to provide consumers with an estimate of how much it costs to run a vehicle. It also allows motor vehicle traders to print fuel economy labels for display on cars.
You will be asked to input details about the vehicle you are enquiring about. The tool will then provide you with a label that indicates the fuel economy in litres per 100km and a rating out of 6 stars.
The fuel economy label generator tool incorporates data sourced from the NZTA RightCar database.
