Transport Operator Cost Model and Cost Index Tools
Powerful truck costing tools that will allow you to accurately identify your costs and assist you to assess the viability of any opportunity before you commit to it.

NRC Cost Model
The NRC Cost Model New Zealand’s most advanced cost forecasting tool for commercial transport operators. It can predict the annual cost up to 12 months ahead of any size of transport business, from single vehicles to large complex fleets. You can use the Cost Model Tool to plan your business, and see the impact that different options for the same scenario might have on you operating costs.

Customisable Cost Index
Developed in collaboration with leading NZ economic consultants Infometrics, this powerful tool will assist NRC members to understand how their business is impacted by changes to costs. The tool is free to use for all NRC members.

Fuel Adjustment Factor
The Fuel Adjustment Factor or FAF is a transparent pricing mechanism that enables transport operators to adjust for fluctuations in fuel costs over time. It is designed to assist the fair reflection of changes in fuel prices in the total cost of service. Our calculators can assist transport operators to calculate the appropriate FAF to apply. Call NRC to discuss if FAF is right for your business.
