Anyone using New Zealand’s roads contributes towards their upkeep. Most road users pay levies when they buy fuel. Others, such as drivers of light diesel vehicles and heavy vehicles like trucks, pay through road user charges (RUC).
The government has announced a transport package to support New Zealanders through the global energy crisis.
This package includes a 36 percent cut to RUC rates from 21 April 2022 to 31 January 2023.
