In New Zealand drivers of heavy vehicles require specific licenses, termed as 'classes'.
A Class 1 Drivers License (aka a Car License) will allow the driving of any vehicle with Gross Laden Weight (GLW) or Gross Combination Weight (GCW) of 4500kg or less. For other types of vehicles the Classes are separately licensed as follows:
`Class 2 - Medium Rigid Vehicle' - Any rigid vehicle with GLW less than 18,001kg (with Light Trailer up to 3500kg or less), any combination vehicle with GCW less than 12,001kg, any rigid vehicle of any weight with no more than 2 axles, or any Class 1 vehicle.
'Class 3 - Medium Combination Vehicle' - Any combination vehicle of GCW less than 25,001kg or any Class 2 vehicle.
'Class 4 - Heavy Rigid Vehicle' - Any rigid vehicle of any weight, any Combination vehicle which consists of a heavy vehicle and a light trailer, or any vehicle of Class 1 or 2 (but not 3).
'Class 5 - Heavy Combination Vehicle' - Any combination vehicle of any weight, and any vehicle covered by previous classes.
'Class 6' is a Motorcycle License.
