New Zealand Truckometer April Data

The April 2026 ANZ Truckometer recorded monthly declines in both light (-1.7%) and heavy (-1.2%) traffic indices. While the heavy traffic trend remains positive, the significant drop in light traffic suggests softening economic demand, potentially influenced by high fuel costs.

Key Takeaways

• 1.The Light Traffic Index (LTI) fell 1.7% in April but remains up 2.4% year-on-year.
• 2.The Heavy Traffic Index (HTI) fell 1.2% in April, though it is still trending higher and is up 2.6% year-on-year.
• 3.Light traffic serves as a lead indicator for economic demand, typically leading GDP by six months, while heavy traffic steers real-time production GDP.
