Importing non-compliant Neighbourhood electric vehicles (Quadricycle)

Cody C made this Official Information request to New Zealand Transport Agency

The request was successful.

From: Cody C

Dear New Zealand Transport Agency,

RE: Registering an imported “Neighbourhood electric vehicle”, such as Citroën Ami

I understand that as a Quadricycle, a “Citroën Ami” may not meet NZ frontal impact standards, for example, and so would need to receive an exemption before being permitted to be registered in New Zealand.

Please provide further details on the process for said exemption and how that might occur on registered said imported vehicle.

Please also advise if you have any information on approximate numbers of already-registered Quadricycles, or similar.

Yours faithfully,

Cody C
