NRC Cost Model

The NRC Cost Model is New Zealand's most up to date, predictive cost model program for commercial motor vehicles. 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 fool 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

Fuel Adjustment Factor or FAF is a surcharge added to your freight rates to cover the cost of fuel. Our calculators will assist operators to calculate the appropriate FAF that they need to apply.
