Testimonials

Real outcomes from New Zealand fleets using EROAD for RUC & compliance.

“We’ve been with EROAD since the early days and find with the ease of off-road recovery the system pays for itself – it’s so much easier, manageable and more cost efficient to buy it this way.”

Ian Emmerson
Managing Director, Emmerson Transport

“We’re seeing major time and cost savings through automating our RUC purchasing. It’s also less stressful for our drivers because they don’t have to worry that their licences will be affected if they’re stopped when their RUC has expired. And there’s no risk to the company’s NZTA rating because we’re always compliant.”

Dave Coutts
General Manager, HydroVac

“Switching to eRUC with EROAD means we can automatically claim rebates for every km travelled off a public road, we recently claimed an excess of $4000, which would have been otherwise lost.”

Brent Wollaston
National Herd Test Manager, LIC

“EROAD’s been a great help claiming back road user charges for the distances we’re off road. That’s a massive saving to the ratepayer.”

Tony Bird
Vehicle Fleet Coordinator, Northland Regional Council

Get ready for the future of RUC

EROAD’s range of GPS tracking devices is expected to be compatible with these upcoming label-free requirements, making them a smart choice for your fleet’s future.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Electronic RUC works just like standard RUC, but replaces the manual paper label process with an easy digital pay-and-display system. You pre-purchase the distances required, and a digital label is displayed on an in-vehicle or trailer-mounted EROAD device for compliance checks.
You can set up AutoRUC in MyEROAD to automatically purchase a new licence before the current one expires. You decide how many kilometres are purchased with each renewal, taking the guesswork out of staying compliant.
You can purchase your next licence in MyEROAD, or set up AutoRUC to automatically purchase a new label before the current one expires. With AutoRUC, you decide how many kilometres are purchased with each licence.
When a RUC licence expires, EROAD’s highly accurate GPS tracking history is used to automatically calculate the total off-road distance travelled, including private roads and custom off-road geofence zones. A RUC Off-road Refund (RUCOR) form is generated with this information, ready to submit to NZTA.
For vehicles fitted with an Ehubo, you can buy and display RUC digitally. Vehicles with EROAD Locate will automatically send odometer readings to MyEROAD where AutoRUC can be enabled; paper labels are printed and delivered to your business address while they’re still required. You can also use MyEROAD to manually purchase paper labels, keeping all RUC transactions in one place.
For heavy vehicles and trailers, the EROAD Ehubo2 or CoreHub Trailer device replaces the mechanical hubodometer as the approved distance recorder. For light vehicles, the vehicle’s odometer remains the legal distance recorder.
The government expects the required RUC system and legislation changes sometime in 2026, with new systems targeted to go live from 2027.
