Extract taken: from NZTA Vehicle Portal > VIRMs > Entry certification > Reference materials > Fuel Consumption Import Statement System 78 Fuel Consumption Import Statement System Overview Fuel consumption information for importers The purpose of this page is to assist people importing vehicles into New Zealand to satisfy requirements for fuel consumption information. This page is part of the entry certification processes that are detailed in the Guide to Importing a Vehicle. 1. This section contains facilities to guide you through the process of finding fuel consumption information for your vehicle and presenting this as a fuel consumption statement to an entry certifier along with other compliance documentation. 2. Any retailer, online seller or future re-sellers of your vehicle will be required to display a vehicle fuel economy label (VFEL) with the vehicle. When you print your fuel consumption statement, a fuel economy label will be attached which can be used to satisfy this requirement when the vehicle is displayed for sale. 3. Many vehicles are offered for sale online immediately after certification and it takes around 24 hours for information loaded into MVR to be available to VFEL (fuelsaver) database services that support online fuel economy labelling. The process of creating the fuel consumption statement makes this information available to labelling services in the interim. 4. The chassis number on the fuel consumption statement must match the chassis number loaded into MVR for the vehicle otherwise the data entry of fuel economy into MVR cannot be corroborated against the original data loaded into the statement. 5. The information you can provide here will also be available for buyers of the vehicle through the NZ Transport Agency's Rightcar website and the EECA Energywise (fuelsaver) websites once the vehicle has been registered in New Zealand. Background 1. Accurate and reliable information on vehicle fuel consumption is needed to support government initiatives on climate change, energy efficiency and energy conservation measures. 2. Since 2005, the NZ Transport Agency (the NZTA) has collected fuel consumption information for light vehicles entering the fleet. This includes new vehicles manufactured after January 2005 and imported after February 2005 as well as previously registered (used) vehicles that were manufactured after January 2000 and imported after February Initially collection of used vehicle data was limited to Japanese domestic imports. As of 1 February 2009, the Fuel Consumption Information Rule (2008) extended requirements for fuel consumption information to imports from all countries. The rule applies to all light vehicles (3500kg or less) except motorcycles. System overview 1. The system allows you to use the documentation supplied for the vehicle to find fuel consumption information without having to research the data yourself. 2. Previous versions of the system provided this capability for Japanese and some Singaporean imports. This has now been extended to Australian, European and US imports. 3. For each vehicle you start by selecting the documentation you have (evidence of registration in a particular part of the world or a SOC) and the chassis number of the vehicle. 4. Based on the details entered you will be offered a selection of vehicle models. It s up to you as a user to confirm which (if any) of the models listed matches your vehicle. 5. Making a selection generates a pre-filled fuel information statement and a VFEL label and records the details in the VFEL database so that the VFEL label can be reproduced at any time in the future, 6. It s still important to produce a statement even if none of the models returned match your vehicle. Submitting the statement records the fact that a reasonable effort has been made to find fuel economy information for the vehicle. This is a minimum regulatory requirement and without a fuel statement there is no proof that this requirement has been met. 7. Each fuel consumption statement created through the system is identified by the chassis number for the vehicle

2 involved and recorded in the VFEL database. This is later cross-referenced to the VIN loaded into MVR using the chassis number. 8. In order to minimize the opportunity for mis-typing chassis numbers, the system is pre-populated with chassis numbers collected through border systems. In most cases you should be able to select rather than enter from scratch the chassis number for the vehicle/statement.
