Selecting cars, vans and utes
Buying or leasing the right vehicle for the task affects your business’ productivity, fuel efficiency, safety, maintenance and other operating costs.
Choosing the right vehicle
Buying the most efficient vehicle for your needs can make all the difference to your fuel bill. Fuel consumption can differ hugely - even between similar sized vehicles - so it’s wise to compare models and features. Consider how suitable a vehicle is for your lifestyle or business, how fuel efficient it is and any special features that are important to you.
Have you considered an electric vehicle? An EV is much cheaper to run (equivalent to paying 30 cents a litre for petrol), more efficient, doesn't pollute the air with exhaust emissions and delivers an 80% reduction in CO2 emissions when in use in New Zealand.
