We’ve got HUGE news from the NZTA that’s going to change everything for vehicle owners across New Zealand!
This is the biggest transport announcement in 50 years, and we’ve been preparing for it behind the scenes. Here’s what you need to know:
🚗 3.7 Million Petrol Vehicles Moving to RUCs
Yup, you read that right. ALL petrol vehicles are shifting to the Road User Charges system.
This affects nearly everyone with a vehicle, and the changes are coming in 2027. We saw this coming and have been building our auto-RUC system in the background – we’re already testing it with our businesses to make sure it’s bulletproof when it hits the market.
🔧 Hardware & Physical Slip Requirements? Gone.
NZTA is scrapping the requirement for all road user charge slips and digital device hardware.
Now it’s official this opens up a whole new world of seamless, hardware-free RUC management.
💡 Want to start auto-RUCs now?
We can still automate your RUC purchases using monthly odometer updates in the BONNET app – at 1,000km, 5,000km, or 10,000km blocks.
Just email support@bonnet.co.nz “Auto RUCs Please” and we’ll get you set up instantly.
🎁 Two Free Vehicles – No Brainer.
Every user gets two vehicles free. Got mates? Team members? Tell them to download Bonnet today.
By 2027, when RUCs hit everyone, you’ll already be cruising while the rest are scrambling.
🛣 Our Vision: Seamless Compliance
The goal with BONNET has always been to make compliance seamless. This NZTA announcement puts us exactly where we want to be – positioned as the trusted tool for all road user management and the rest of your compliance needs.
