Emissions and Energy Economy labelling progamme

The Emissions and Energy Economy labelling programme is looked after by EECA in consultation with the NZ Transport Agency (NZTA). We've moved the Emissions and Energy 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 Emissions and Energy Economy labels contact EECA on 0800 749 782 or email fuel.economy@eeca.govt.nz

Only enter one option at a time. Use VIN or Plate number if the car was first registered in New Zealand more than two days ago (the database is updated with VIN data nightly) - otherwise try Chassis number.

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.

 

 

Or, for other vehicles, use:

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.

If the car is a used import

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.

If it's a new car direct from the manufacturer

If you have a Japanese export certificate, try:

X

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

The model code can be found on an export certificate near the top just below the dates - it looks something like this "CBA-ACD03"

You must fill in both of these fields

X

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

The variant is described as the "classification number" on an export certificate - on the last row of details between the "specification number" and the "length"

Select a label if you want to display it on a car, or text information if you want to use it in a website listing or elsewhere. The print file can include multiple labels.

NOTICE: The Emissions and Energy 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 Energy Economy Labelling) Regulations 2007, but it may be made larger (Regulation 6(6)(a)). These regulations also include the requirement to "Clearly and prominently" display the label.

DISCLAIMER:

The Vehicle Emissions and Energy Economy Label is designed to allow consumers to directly compare the emissions and energy consumption of different vehicles and make it easier to choose to buy an electric or low-emission light vehicle that's better for the environment. It provides comparative CO2 emissions and energy consumption figures and an estimated annual energy consumption cost based on a range of assumptions.

The Emissions and Energy Economy Label Generator allows motor vehicle traders to print Emissions and Energy Economy Labels for display on vehicles and obtain relevant information for display alongside online vehicle sales listings to meet their obligations under the Energy Efficiency (Vehicle Energy Economy Labelling) Regulations 2007.

Emissions and energy economy information is sourced from the Fuelsaver database, standardised to the Worldwide Harmonised Light Vehicle Test Procedure, 3 Phase (3p WLTP).

The WLTP is a laboratory based, worldwide standard for testing the energy economy, CO2 emissions and electric vehicle (EV) range of passenger and light commercial vehicles. WLTP data does not necessarily represent the actual energy economy an individual driver will achieve. Actual energy economy may vary due many factors including individual driving styles, traffic and weather conditions, vehicle loading, vehicle maintenance and tyre pressures.
