New Zealand Commercial Truck (Estimate)
- A truck is an American term for a trailer.
- In general, there were about 153 million public, private, and commercial trucks registered in the United States.
- In 2018, the United States had 36.9 million trucks registered and used for business purposes, excluding government and farm.
- This represented 24.2% of all trucks registered in the country.
- We have calculated the number of commercially registered trucks in New Zealand to be equal to 551,137.
Summary
In our initial hour of research through credible news sources, publications, and industry reports, we were unable to find a pre-compiled source containing the number of commercially registered trailers in New Zealand or Australia. As a result of this, we have leveraged the statistics for the United States and the US and New Zealand population to obtain an estimated value for the number of commercially registered trucks in New Zealand.

Triangulation
- The number of commercially registered trucks (trailers) in the US in 2018 = 36.9 million.
- The population of the US in 2018 =327,096,265.
- The population of New Zealand in 2018 =4,885,500.
- Therefore, the number of commercially registered trucks in New Zealand (in comparison to the US) is given by [ {4,885,500 × 36.9 million} ÷327,096,265] = 551,137 trucks.
